Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Allegory of Abundance by Giovanni Domenico Ferretti was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,528.00 (€ 2,907.29). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Domenico Ferretti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Driving The Money Lenders From The Temple in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 162,500.00 (€ 150,018.46).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Allegory of Abundance von Giovanni Domenico Ferretti im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.528,00 (€ 2.907,29) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Domenico Ferretti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ Driving The Money Lenders From The Temple im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 150.018,46).
