Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Playtime by Luigi Bechi was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2014. The price achieved of EUR 43,500.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 35,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luigi Bechi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Playing with the kitten, which sold at auction in October 2000 for GBP 91,750.00 (€ 156,826.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Playtime von Luigi Bechi kam im Mai 2014 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 43.500,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 35.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Luigi Bechi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Playing with the kitten beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für GBP 91.750,00 (€ 156.826,98) versteigert wurde.
