Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Studies for statues of pedestals of Apollo, Venus, Bacchus and Ceres, for the Marino Casino, Clontarf, Co. Dublin by Giovanni Battista Cipriani was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 20,698.13). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Studies for statues of pedestals of Apollo, Venus, Bacchus and Ceres, for the Marino Casino, Clontarf, Co. Dublin von Giovanni Battista Cipriani im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 20.698,13) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
