Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work A view of the San Marco; and An elegant company in front of the Palazzo Ducale, Venice by Giovanni Grubacs was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in April 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at EUR 40,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Grubacs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Venice, A View Of The Bacino Di San Marco And The Dogana At Sunset, which sold at auction in January 2017 for USD 162,500.00 (€ 150,546.60).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A view of the San Marco; and An elegant company in front of the Palazzo Ducale, Venice von Giovanni Grubacs im April 2007 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 40.800,00 mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Grubacs mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Venice, A View Of The Bacino Di San Marco And The Dogana At Sunset beobachtet, die im Januar 2017 für USD 162.500,00 (€ 150.546,60) versteigert wurde.
