A top price for Giovanni Battista - as previously expected
The work The missing lovers by Giovanni Battista was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2002. The price achieved of GBP 4,112.50 (€ 6,361.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,500.00 – 4,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The missing lovers is the most expensive artwork by Giovanni Battista that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The missing lovers von Giovanni Battista kam im Juni 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.112,50 (€ 6.361,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.500,00 – 4.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The missing lovers das teuerste Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
