Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work The head of a young man or woman by Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,361.76). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of An Oriental, Head And Shoulders, Wearing A Bejewelled Blue Hat And A Red Fur-Trimmed Coat in July 2009 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 328,212.05).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The head of a young man or woman von Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.361,76) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of An Oriental, Head And Shoulders, Wearing A Bejewelled Blue Hat And A Red Fur-Trimmed Coat im Juli 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 328.212,05).
