Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Rowing out, Valetta harbour, sunset; and Fishing vessels in Valetta harbour, Malta by Luigi Galea was sold in the Old Masters & 19th Century Art auction at Christies in London in April 2011. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,349.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luigi Galea - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mediterranean fishing craft off the Maltese coast, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 7,285.00 (€ 11,689.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Rowing out, Valetta harbour, sunset; and Fishing vessels in Valetta harbour, Malta von Luigi Galea wurde im April 2011 in der Auktion Old Masters & 19th Century Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.349,32) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Luigi Galea mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mediterranean fishing craft off the Maltese coast beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 7.285,00 (€ 11.689,74) versteigert wurde.
