Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Minerva Directing The Construction of Athens; And The Contest of Minerva And Arachne by Giuseppe Cades was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Andrea del auction at Christies in London in July 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 15,600.00 (€ 22,627.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Giuseppe Cades have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Briseis Leaving Achilles' Tent in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 253,000.00 (€ 170,473.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Minerva Directing The Construction of Athens; And The Contest of Minerva And Arachne von Giuseppe Cades wurde im Juli 2005 in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Andrea del bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 15.600,00 (€ 22.627,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giuseppe Cades auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Briseis Leaving Achilles' Tent im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 253.000,00 (€ 170.473,69).
