Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lamentation Over The Dead Christ by Giovanni Battista Castello was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 28,125.00 (€ 24,911.43). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Castello - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Adoration Of The Magi, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 100,000.00 (€ 74,074.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lamentation Over The Dead Christ von Giovanni Battista Castello im Januar 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 28.125,00 (€ 24.911,43) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Castello mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Adoration Of The Magi beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 100.000,00 (€ 74.074,07) versteigert wurde.
