Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An American clipper ship passing a headland by Luca Papaluca was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,189.88). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luca Papaluca - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Royal Yacht Squadron'S Steam Yacht Venetia In Neapolitan Waters (Illustrated); And At Sea, which sold at auction in May 2006 for GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,407.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An American clipper ship passing a headland von Luca Papaluca im Januar 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.189,88) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Luca Papaluca mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Royal Yacht Squadron'S Steam Yacht Venetia In Neapolitan Waters (Illustrated); And At Sea beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für GBP 5.760,00 (€ 8.407,72) versteigert wurde.
