Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Madonna And Child Enthroned; And An Allegorical Scene With The Good Samaritan by Ricciardo Meacci was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 5,400.00 (€ 7,813.71). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ricciardo Meacci - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian Primavera, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 16,058.58).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Madonna And Child Enthroned; And An Allegorical Scene With The Good Samaritan von Ricciardo Meacci im Juni 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.400,00 (€ 7.813,71) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ricciardo Meacci mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Italian Primavera beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 25.000,00 (€ 16.058,58) versteigert wurde.
