Sold at the lower estimate price

In November 2017 Christies in London held the auction The Lure of Naples: A Private Collection of Italian Views, which included the work The Bay of Naples seen from the West by Giuseppe Gustavo Scoppa. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,702.72) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giuseppe Gustavo Scoppa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Carriages and figures on the Via della Riviera di Chiaia, Naples, which sold at auction in October 2003 for GBP 3,995.00 (€ 5,835.06).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Im November 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Lure of Naples: A Private Collection of Italian Views durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Bay of Naples seen from the West von Giuseppe Gustavo Scoppa zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.702,72) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Gustavo Scoppa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Carriages and figures on the Via della Riviera di Chiaia, Naples beobachtet, die im Oktober 2003 für GBP 3.995,00 (€ 5.835,06) versteigert wurde.
