Despite a disappointment, a good price for Giovanni Battista Spinelli
When the work Ammon Asking For Esther'S Forgiveness Before Ahasuerus by Giovanni Battista Spinelli was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 18,500.00 (€ 25,138.36). Despite this disappointing result, Ammon Asking For Esther'S Forgiveness Before Ahasuerus is the most expensive artwork by Giovanni Battista Spinelli that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Giovanni Battista Spinelli
Als die Arbeit Ammon Asking For Esther'S Forgiveness Before Ahasuerus von Giovanni Battista Spinelli im Dezember 2007 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 18.500,00 (€ 25.138,36) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Ammon Asking For Esther'S Forgiveness Before Ahasuerus das teuerste Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Spinelli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
