Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Gathering Of Manna; Abraham And Melchizedek by Jacopo da Ponte was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 430,000.00 (€ 479,058.14). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacopo da Ponte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Adoration Of The Shepherds in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 8,901,000.00 (€ 6,593,333.33).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Gathering Of Manna; Abraham And Melchizedek von Jacopo da Ponte im Dezember 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 430.000,00 (€ 479.058,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacopo da Ponte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Adoration Of The Shepherds im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.901.000,00 (€ 6.593.333,33).
