Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work The Holy Family And The Infant Saint John by Orazio Samacchini was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 43,750.00 (€ 32,407.41). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Orazio Samacchini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Baptism Of Christ in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 487,500.00 (€ 405,236.91).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Holy Family And The Infant Saint John von Orazio Samacchini im Januar 2014 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 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 43.750,00 (€ 32.407,41) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Orazio Samacchini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Baptism Of Christ im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 487.500,00 (€ 405.236,91).
