Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Italian Oxford Street by Paolo Sala was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 56,250.00 (€ 69,133.06). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paolo Sala - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Anichkov Bridge On Nevsky Prospekt At Dusk, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 145,250.00 (€ 160,692.13).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Italian Oxford Street von Paolo Sala im Mai 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 56.250,00 (€ 69.133,06) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Paolo Sala mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Anichkov Bridge On Nevsky Prospekt At Dusk beobachtet, die im Juni 2011 für GBP 145.250,00 (€ 160.692,13) versteigert wurde.
