A top price for Pirro Ligorio
When the work Two princes of the House of Guelph: Duke William VII and Duke Philip VI by Pirro Ligorio was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 22,705.00 (€ 18,234.02). This high result makes Two princes of the House of Guelph: Duke William VII and Duke Philip VI the most expensive artwork by Pirro Ligorio that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Pirro Ligorio
Als die Arbeit Two princes of the House of Guelph: Duke William VII and Duke Philip VI von Pirro Ligorio im Januar 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 22.705,00 (€ 18.234,02) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Two princes of the House of Guelph: Duke William VII and Duke Philip VI zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Pirro Ligorio, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
