Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giulio Pippi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work Socrates and a barbarian, hands clasped sold for USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,004.54) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giulio Pippi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a woman, head and shoulders in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 378,000.00 (€ 444,052.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Giulio Pippi erzielte im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit Socrates and a barbarian, hands clasped für USD 13.750,00 (€ 12.004,54) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giulio Pippi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a woman, head and shoulders im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 378.000,00 (€ 444.052,63).
