This artwork by Ricciardo Meacci achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2000. In the BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction, the work The Annunciation sold for GBP 3,760.00 (€ 6,145.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ricciardo Meacci erzielte im November 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS wurde die Arbeit The Annunciation für GBP 3.760,00 (€ 6.145,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. 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.
