Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Putti cavorting with a dolphin by Giovanni Battista Cipriani was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 400.00 (€ 452.60). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Cipriani achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boreas And Oreithyia in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 352,800.00 (€ 302,910.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Putti cavorting with a dolphin von Giovanni Battista Cipriani im März 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 400,00 (€ 452,60) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Cipriani erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boreas And Oreithyia im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 352.800,00 (€ 302.910,62).
