A top price for Neri di Bicci

When the work The Martyrdom of Saint Januarius: panel from a predella by Neri di Bicci was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 325,250.00 (€ 413,233.79). This high result makes The Martyrdom of Saint Januarius: panel from a predella the most expensive artwork by Neri di Bicci that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Neri di Bicci

Als die Arbeit The Martyrdom of Saint Januarius: panel from a predella von Neri di Bicci im Juli 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 325.250,00 (€ 413.233,79) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Martyrdom of Saint Januarius: panel from a predella zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Neri di Bicci, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
