A top price for Giovanni del Biondo
When the work The Archangel Gabriel And The Virgin Annunciate by Giovanni del Biondo was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 656,000.00 (€ 485,207.10). This high result makes The Archangel Gabriel And The Virgin Annunciate the most expensive artwork by Giovanni del Biondo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Giovanni del Biondo
Als die Arbeit The Archangel Gabriel And The Virgin Annunciate von Giovanni del Biondo im Juni 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 656.000,00 (€ 485.207,10) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Archangel Gabriel And The Virgin Annunciate zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Giovanni del Biondo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
