Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Infant Saint John The Baptist by Giuseppe Maria Crespi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,161.02). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giuseppe Maria Crespi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Madonna and Child in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 333,750.00 (€ 539,669.36).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Infant Saint John The Baptist von Giuseppe Maria Crespi im Januar 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.161,02) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Maria Crespi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Madonna and Child im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 333.750,00 (€ 539.669,36).
