Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Italian Admiring The Baby by Giovanni Battista Torriglia was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2008. The price achieved of USD 170,500.00 (€ 134,442.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. 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).
