Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Old Testament Scenes: The Israelites Celebrating Their Safe Passage Through The Red Sea; The Meeting Of Moses And Aaron In The Desert; Samson And Delilah; The Sacrifice Of Noah; The Sacrifice Of Isaac; And Lot And His Wife Fleeing Sodom (?) by Luigi Ademollo was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,503.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luigi Ademollo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ten Scenes After The Antique With Trompe L'Oeil Bas-Relief Friezes in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 59,260.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Old Testament Scenes: The Israelites Celebrating Their Safe Passage Through The Red Sea; The Meeting Of Moses And Aaron In The Desert; Samson And Delilah; The Sacrifice Of Noah; The Sacrifice Of Isaac; And Lot And His Wife Fleeing Sodom (?) von Luigi Ademollo wurde im Dezember 2013 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.503,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luigi Ademollo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ten Scenes After The Antique With Trompe L'Oeil Bas-Relief Friezes im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 59.260,90).
