Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Venus Asks Vulcan To Forge Arms For Aeneas by Giuseppe Valeriani was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,761.90). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giuseppe Valeriani - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegorical Scene Of Russia Partaking The Bounties Of Civilisation, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 13,290.60).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Venus Asks Vulcan To Forge Arms For Aeneas von Giuseppe Valeriani im Februar 2020 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 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.761,90) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Valeriani mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Allegorical Scene Of Russia Partaking The Bounties Of Civilisation beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 13.290,60) versteigert wurde.
