Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Madonna and Child by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta was worth USD 27,720.00 (€ 24,723.51) to a buyer in January last year. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work David And Goliath in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 409,250.00 (€ 474,728.77).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Madonna and Child von Giovanni Battista Piazzetta war einem Käufer im Januar letzten Jahres USD 27.720,00 (€ 24.723,51) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Piazzetta erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit David And Goliath im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 409.250,00 (€ 474.728,77).
