Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2012 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours, which included the work View of the Pool of Bethesda and one of the gates of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem by Luigi Mayer. The price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,533.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Luigi Mayer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work View of the port and the city of Constantinople, from Leander's Tower in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 73,250.00 (€ 89,078.82).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit View of the Pool of Bethesda and one of the gates of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem von Luigi Mayer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.533,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Luigi Mayer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit View of the port and the city of Constantinople, from Leander's Tower im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 73.250,00 (€ 89.078,82).
