A top price for Juan de Valdés Leal - as previously expected
In January 2009 Sothebys in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings, Including European Works of Art, which included the work The Visitation by Juan de Valdés Leal. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 180,000.00 – 220,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 182,500.00 (€ 142,533.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Visitation is the most expensive artwork by Juan de Valdés Leal that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2009 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings, Including European Works of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Visitation von Juan de Valdés Leal zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 180.000,00 – 220.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 182.500,00 (€ 142.533,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Visitation das teuerste Kunstwerk von Juan de Valdés Leal, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
