Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Figures before a palazzo on a Venetian backwater with San Giorgio Maggiore beyond by Luigi Querena was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 25,850.00 (€ 33,680.78). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Luigi Querena; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Italian the Doge'S Palace, Venice sold at auction in June 2010 with the realized price of GBP 49,250.00 (€ 59,892.58).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Figures before a palazzo on a Venetian backwater with San Giorgio Maggiore beyond von Luigi Querena im April 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.850,00 (€ 33.680,78) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Luigi Querena; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Italian the Doge'S Palace, Venice im Juni 2010 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 49.250,00 (€ 59.892,58).
