A top price for Giambettino Cignaroli - as previously expected
In January 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Courts of Europe, which included the work Leda And The Swan by Giambettino Cignaroli. The price achieved of USD 305,000.00 (€ 225,925.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Leda And The Swan is the most expensive artwork by Giambettino Cignaroli that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Courts of Europe durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leda And The Swan von Giambettino Cignaroli zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 305.000,00 (€ 225.925,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Leda And The Swan das teuerste Kunstwerk von Giambettino Cignaroli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
