A top price for Nicola Bolla
When the work Vanitas (Teschio) by Nicola Bolla was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 46,600.00 (€ 29,948.59). This high result makes Vanitas (Teschio) the most expensive artwork by Nicola Bolla that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Nicola Bolla
Als die Arbeit Vanitas (Teschio) von Nicola Bolla im Mai 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 46.600,00 (€ 29.948,59) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Vanitas (Teschio) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Nicola Bolla, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
