Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Head Of A Woman by Orazio Gentileschi for USD 1,812,500.00 (€ 1,679,173.61). This price was achieved in the auction Master Paintings & Sculpture Evening Sale at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Orazio Gentileschi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Danaë in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 30,490,000.00 (€ 28,148,079.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Head Of A Woman von Orazio Gentileschi für USD 1.812.500,00 (€ 1.679.173,61) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Evening Sale bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000.000,00 – 3.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Orazio Gentileschi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Danaë im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.490.000,00 (€ 28.148.079,76).
