Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Italo Scanga could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Painful Personage changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,644.01) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Italo Scanga - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Landscape With Jug) Signed And Dated 'Italo Scanga 1988' (Lower Right) Acrylic And Gouache On Paper In Artist Frame 45¾ X 35½ In. (116.2 X 90.2 Cm.) Painted In 1988. Untitled (Tree And Coin) Signed And Dated 'Italo Scanga 1989' (Lower Ce, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 8,750.00 (€ 5,895.83).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Italo Scanga konnte im März 2011 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Painful Personage für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.644,01) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Italo Scanga mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Landscape With Jug) Signed And Dated 'Italo Scanga 1988' (Lower Right) Acrylic And Gouache On Paper In Artist Frame 45¾ X 35½ In. (116.2 X 90.2 Cm.) Painted In 1988. Untitled (Tree And Coin) Signed And Dated 'Italo Scanga 1989' (Lower Ce beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 8.750,00 (€ 5.895,83) versteigert wurde.
