Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Saint Peter In Penitence by Ludovico Carracci. The price achieved of GBP 362,500.00 (€ 466,657.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ludovico Carracci achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Salmacis And Hermaphroditus in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 7,400,000.00 (€ 10,832,732.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Peter In Penitence von Ludovico Carracci zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 362.500,00 (€ 466.657,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ludovico Carracci erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Salmacis And Hermaphroditus im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.400.000,00 (€ 10.832.732,69).
