A top price for Michele di Matteo da Bologna - as previously expected
The work A Female Saint by Michele di Matteo da Bologna was sold in the Master Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 44,100.00 (€ 37,863.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Female Saint is the most expensive artwork by Michele di Matteo da Bologna that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit A Female Saint von Michele di Matteo da Bologna wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion Master Paintings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 37.863,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Female Saint das teuerste Kunstwerk von Michele di Matteo da Bologna, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
