A top price for Michelangelo Maestri
When the work Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night by Michelangelo Maestri was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 16,450.00 (€ 28,161.73). This high result makes Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night the most expensive artwork by Michelangelo Maestri that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Michelangelo Maestri
Als die Arbeit Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night von Michelangelo Maestri im April 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.450,00 (€ 28.161,73) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Michelangelo Maestri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
