Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A panoramic view of Rome from the Aventine Hill towards the South by Giovanni Battista Lusieri was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 170,000.00 (€ 203,010.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Lusieri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Panoramic view of Rome from Piazza San Pietro in Montorio on the Janiculum: From Saint Peter's to the Chiesa Nuova with San Giovanni dei Fiorentini and Castel Sant' Angelo, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 481,875.00 (€ 550,626.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A panoramic view of Rome from the Aventine Hill towards the South von Giovanni Battista Lusieri im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 170.000,00 (€ 203.010,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Lusieri mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Panoramic view of Rome from Piazza San Pietro in Montorio on the Janiculum: From Saint Peter's to the Chiesa Nuova with San Giovanni dei Fiorentini and Castel Sant' Angelo beobachtet, die im Juli 2013 für GBP 481.875,00 (€ 550.626,18) versteigert wurde.
