Despite a disappointment, a good price for Pietro Berrettini
In January 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery by Pietro Berrettini for USD 490,000.00 (€ 452,363.37). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of A. Alfred Taubman: Old Masters at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery is the most expensive artwork by Pietro Berrettini that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Pietro Berrettini
Im Januar 2016 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery von Pietro Berrettini für USD 490.000,00 (€ 452.363,37) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of A. Alfred Taubman: Old Masters bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pietro Berrettini, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
