Auction result well in line with expectations
In January last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings & Sculpture Part I, which included the work Saint Nicholas of Bari saving three knights from execution by Luca Signorelli. It changed hands for a price of USD 176,400.00 (€ 157,331.43) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luca Signorelli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple, which sold at auction in January 2012 for USD 818,500.00 (€ 627,058.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Nicholas of Bari saving three knights from execution von Luca Signorelli zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 176.400,00 (€ 157.331,43) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Luca Signorelli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Processional Banner: The Presentation In The Temple beobachtet, die im Januar 2012 für USD 818.500,00 (€ 627.058,91) versteigert wurde.
