Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2009 Christies in New York held the auction The Scholars Eye: Property from the Julius Held Collection Part II, which included the work The Eritrean Sibyl, after Michelangelo by Philipp Veit. The price achieved of USD 812.50 (€ 634.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 700.00 – 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Philipp Veit - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Raufende Knaben, which sold at auction in October 2004 for EUR 1,638.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2009 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Scholars Eye: Property from the Julius Held Collection Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Eritrean Sibyl, after Michelangelo von Philipp Veit zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 812,50 (€ 634,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Philipp Veit mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Raufende Knaben beobachtet, die im Oktober 2004 für EUR 1.638,00 versteigert wurde.
