Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Pier Francesco Mola could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work Joseph greeting his brothers changed hands for USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,057.93) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pier Francesco Mola achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An artist and a youth in January 2002 with an auction result of USD 3,086,000.00 (€ 3,590,877.36).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Pier Francesco Mola konnte im Januar 2018 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wechselte die Arbeit Joseph greeting his brothers für USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.057,93) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pier Francesco Mola erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An artist and a youth im Januar 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.086.000,00 (€ 3.590.877,36).
