Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Pluto Abducting Persephone by Paolo Farinati was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2016. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,079.76) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paolo Farinati - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ecce Homo, which sold at auction in July 2006 for GBP 54,000.00 (€ 79,049.67).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Pluto Abducting Persephone von Paolo Farinati kam im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.079,76) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Paolo Farinati mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ecce Homo beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für GBP 54.000,00 (€ 79.049,67) versteigert wurde.
