Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Rebecca'S Journey To Canaan by Paolo de Matteis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 39,650.00 (€ 48,899.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paolo de Matteis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Sacrifice of Isaac, which sold at auction in July 2006 for GBP 114,000.00 (€ 166,882.64).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Rebecca'S Journey To Canaan von Paolo de Matteis im Dezember 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 39.650,00 (€ 48.899,46) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Paolo de Matteis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Sacrifice of Isaac beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für GBP 114.000,00 (€ 166.882,64) versteigert wurde.
