Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Symbol by Margherita Manzelli was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,054.20). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margherita Manzelli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Verifica del funzionamento - spazio vuoto in October 2009 with an auction result of GBP 151,250.00 (€ 168,922.31).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Symbol von Margherita Manzelli im September 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.054,20) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Margherita Manzelli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Verifica del funzionamento - spazio vuoto im Oktober 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 151.250,00 (€ 168.922,31).
