Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2011 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work The New York Yacht Club's steam yacht Happy Days in Mediterranean waters off Naples, 1928 by Luca Papaluca. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 625.00 (€ 714.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luca Papaluca achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Royal Yacht Squadron'S Steam Yacht Venetia In Neapolitan Waters (Illustrated); And At Sea in May 2006 with an auction result of GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,407.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The New York Yacht Club's steam yacht Happy Days in Mediterranean waters off Naples, 1928 von Luca Papaluca zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 625,00 (€ 714,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luca Papaluca erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Royal Yacht Squadron'S Steam Yacht Venetia In Neapolitan Waters (Illustrated); And At Sea im Mai 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.760,00 (€ 8.407,72).
