Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work Christ enthroned, flanked by the Virgin and St. Francis of Assisi, before the Fountain of Life by Ricciardo Meacci for GBP 720.00 (€ 1,075.74). This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Watercolours at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ricciardo Meacci achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Italian Primavera in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 16,058.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Christ enthroned, flanked by the Virgin and St. Francis of Assisi, before the Fountain of Life von Ricciardo Meacci für GBP 720,00 (€ 1.075,74) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ricciardo Meacci erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Italian Primavera im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 16.058,58).
