Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Giuseppe Zocchi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2016. In the Brian Sewell - Critic & Collector auction, the work The ruins of the Temple of Vespasian, Rome, with two figures resting; and The ruins of the Temple of Vespasian with an admiring traveller sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,763.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giuseppe Zocchi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Tiber River, Rome, looking towards the Castel Sant'Angelo, with Saint Peter's Basilica beyond in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 1,207,500.00 (€ 1,108,306.56).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giuseppe Zocchi erzielte im September 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Brian Sewell - Critic & Collector wurde die Arbeit The ruins of the Temple of Vespasian, Rome, with two figures resting; and The ruins of the Temple of Vespasian with an admiring traveller für GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.763,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Zocchi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Tiber River, Rome, looking towards the Castel Sant'Angelo, with Saint Peter's Basilica beyond im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.207.500,00 (€ 1.108.306,56).
