A top price for Ludovico Carracci

When the work Salmacis And Hermaphroditus by Ludovico Carracci was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 7,400,000.00 (€ 10,832,732.69). This high result makes Salmacis And Hermaphroditus the most expensive artwork by Ludovico Carracci that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Ludovico Carracci

Als die Arbeit Salmacis And Hermaphroditus von Ludovico Carracci im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.400.000,00 (€ 10.832.732,69) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Salmacis And Hermaphroditus zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ludovico Carracci, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
