A top price for Pierre Subleyras
When the work Portrait Of Pope Benedict Xiv by Pierre Subleyras was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 986,500.00 (€ 770,462.36). This high result makes Portrait Of Pope Benedict Xiv the most expensive artwork by Pierre Subleyras that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 986.500,00 (€ 770.462,36) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of Pope Benedict Xiv zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Pierre Subleyras, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
