Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Supper at Emmaus by Giovanni Antonio Guardi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 22,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 69,300.00 (€ 57,107.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Antonio Guardi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Apollo; and Diana, which sold at auction in June 2015 for USD 245,000.00 (€ 219,652.14).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Supper at Emmaus von Giovanni Antonio Guardi im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 22.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 69.300,00 (€ 57.107,54) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Antonio Guardi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Apollo; and Diana beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für USD 245.000,00 (€ 219.652,14) versteigert wurde.
