Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The head of a man in profile, looking up by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It changed hands for a price of USD 176,400.00 (€ 157,331.43) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 150,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work King David in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 5,193,250.00 (€ 6,244,298.00).
