Auction result misses estimated price range

In January 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Three Philosophers with Putti by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione for USD 31,500.00 (€ 25,957.97). This price was achieved in the auction From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pagan Sacrifice in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 971,750.00 (€ 1,571,306.96).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Januar 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Three Philosophers with Putti von Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione für USD 31.500,00 (€ 25.957,97) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 35.000,00 – 45.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Pagan Sacrifice im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 971.750,00 (€ 1.571.306,96).
