Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Neptune crowned by a putto, surrounded by sea gods and nymphs by Jacopo Cestaro was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2024, 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 23,940.00 (€ 20,922.92). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacopo Cestaro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Annunciation, which sold at auction in January 2002 for USD 58,750.00 (€ 68,361.65).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Neptune crowned by a putto, surrounded by sea gods and nymphs von Jacopo Cestaro im Februar 2024 bei Christies 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 23.940,00 (€ 20.922,92) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacopo Cestaro mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Annunciation beobachtet, die im Januar 2002 für USD 58.750,00 (€ 68.361,65) versteigert wurde.
