Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Luca Giordano could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper auction, the work St. Francis and St. Andrew changed hands for USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,371.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luca Giordano achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 962,500.00 (€ 1,214,015.12).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Luca Giordano konnte im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit St. Francis and St. Andrew für USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.371,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luca Giordano erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 962.500,00 (€ 1.214.015,12).
