Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A centaur on his back by Luca Cambiaso was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,429.49). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luca Cambiaso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A 'Sacra Conversazione': The Madonna And Child With Saints Paul And Augustine, A Putto Reading At Their Feet in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 692,000.00 (€ 1,027,779.74).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A centaur on his back von Luca Cambiaso im Juli 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.429,49) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luca Cambiaso erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A 'Sacra Conversazione': The Madonna And Child With Saints Paul And Augustine, A Putto Reading At Their Feet im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 692.000,00 (€ 1.027.779,74).
