Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lucius Rossi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2001. In the British And Continental Watercolours And Drawings auction, the work The young tennis player sold for GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,898.97) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucius Rossi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Masked Ball, Ca Rezzonico, Venice in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 43,000.00 (€ 29,720.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lucius Rossi erzielte im Oktober 2001 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British And Continental Watercolours And Drawings wurde die Arbeit The young tennis player für GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.898,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lucius Rossi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Masked Ball, Ca Rezzonico, Venice im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 43.000,00 (€ 29.720,76).
