Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Serafino Falzacappa, studying at a table by Pier Leone Ghezzi was sold in the Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The price achieved of USD 17,640.00 (€ 15,733.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pier Leone Ghezzi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paolo De Matteis In His Studio, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 91,000.00 (€ 58,453.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Serafino Falzacappa, studying at a table von Pier Leone Ghezzi wurde im Januar letzten Jahres in der Auktion Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 17.640,00 (€ 15.733,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Pier Leone Ghezzi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paolo De Matteis In His Studio beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 91.000,00 (€ 58.453,24) versteigert wurde.
