A top price for Giovanni Costa - as previously expected
In July 2008 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art including Orientalist and Spanish Art, which included the work An odalisque with a red fan by Giovanni Costa. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 31,762.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An odalisque with a red fan is the most expensive artwork by Giovanni Costa that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art including Orientalist and Spanish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An odalisque with a red fan von Giovanni Costa zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 31.762,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist An odalisque with a red fan das teuerste Kunstwerk von Giovanni Costa, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
