Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A New Friend by Giovanni Battista Torriglia was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2007. The price achieved of USD 120,000.00 (€ 87,847.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Torriglia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian The Thread Of Life, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 228,500.00 (€ 319,959.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A New Friend von Giovanni Battista Torriglia kam im April 2007 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 120.000,00 (€ 87.847,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Torriglia mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Italian The Thread Of Life beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 228.500,00 (€ 319.959,12) versteigert wurde.
