Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Boethius And Philosophy by Mattia Preti was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,460,000.00 (€ 1,316,145.32). Other works by Mattia Preti have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in January 2008 by the work David Playing The Harp Before Saul at USD 2,169,000.00 (€ 1,461,491.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Boethius And Philosophy von Mattia Preti im Januar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.460.000,00 (€ 1.316.145,32) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Mattia Preti wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Januar 2008 die Arbeit David Playing The Harp Before Saul mit USD 2.169.000,00 (€ 1.461.491,81).
