Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Shepherd In Love by Giovanni Segantini was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 68,750.00 (€ 75,482.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Segantini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le due madri, 1891 in March 2011 with an auction result of CHF 1,440,000.00 (€ 1,108,707.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Shepherd In Love von Giovanni Segantini im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 68.750,00 (€ 75.482,93) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Segantini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le due madri, 1891 im März 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 1.440.000,00 (€ 1.108.707,61).
