Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Moritz Stifter could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 19th Century European Art including Russian Pictures auction, the work An Italian Street Musician changed hands for GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,667.71) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Moritz Stifter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Rhamazan Bride in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 55,000.00 (€ 38,014.93).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Moritz Stifter konnte im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 19th Century European Art including Russian Pictures wechselte die Arbeit An Italian Street Musician für GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.667,71) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Moritz Stifter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Rhamazan Bride im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 55.000,00 (€ 38.014,93).
