Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giulio Pippi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Two Putti on the Back of an Elephant, Study for a Stucco Medallion in the West Lunette on the Vault of the Camera delle Aquile, Palazzo Te sold for USD 37,800.00 (€ 31,149.57) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giulio Pippi erzielte im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit Two Putti on the Back of an Elephant, Study for a Stucco Medallion in the West Lunette on the Vault of the Camera delle Aquile, Palazzo Te für USD 37.800,00 (€ 31.149,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. 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).
