Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and 19th Century Art, which included the work The Evesdropper by Pio Ricci. The price achieved of GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,822.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pio Ricci - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Lovers'S Spat, which sold at auction in June 2008 for USD 46,875.00 (€ 29,765.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist and 19th Century Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Evesdropper von Pio Ricci zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.822,58) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Pio Ricci mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Lovers'S Spat beobachtet, die im Juni 2008 für USD 46.875,00 (€ 29.765,68) versteigert wurde.
