Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness, after Raphael; and Mary Magdalen in the Desert, after Orazio Gentileschi by Giovanna Garzoni. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 75,000.00 (€ 69,483.05) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Giovanna Garzoni have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A hedgehog in a landscape in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 622,400.00 (€ 455,636.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness, after Raphael; and Mary Magdalen in the Desert, after Orazio Gentileschi von Giovanna Garzoni zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 69.483,05) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giovanna Garzoni auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A hedgehog in a landscape im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 622.400,00 (€ 455.636,90).
