Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Meeting Of Alexander The Great And Roxana, Behind A Trompe-L'Oeil Curtain by Pietro Antonio Rotari was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 125,000.00 (€ 115,398.82). Other works by Pietro Antonio Rotari have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in January 2003 by the work A young girl hiding behind a muff at USD 152,500.00 (€ 142,005.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Meeting Of Alexander The Great And Roxana, Behind A Trompe-L'Oeil Curtain von Pietro Antonio Rotari im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 125.000,00 (€ 115.398,82) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Pietro Antonio Rotari wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Januar 2003 die Arbeit A young girl hiding behind a muff mit USD 152.500,00 (€ 142.005,77).
