Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Ostia Beach by Nicola Simbari was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,375.00 (€ 1,167.83). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicola Simbari achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Plage in December 2014 with an auction result of USD 37,500.00 (€ 30,989.17).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Ostia Beach von Nicola Simbari im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.375,00 (€ 1.167,83) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicola Simbari erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Plage im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 30.989,17).
