A top price for Luca Signorelli - as previously expected
In January 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture, which included the work A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple by Luca Signorelli. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 818,500.00 (€ 627,058.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple is the most expensive artwork by Luca Signorelli that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple von Luca Signorelli zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 818.500,00 (€ 627.058,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple das teuerste Kunstwerk von Luca Signorelli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
