Despite a disappointment, a good price for Salvatore Zofrea
In May 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work The Odyssey by Salvatore Zofrea for AUD 9,400.00 (€ 5,634.44). This price was achieved in the auction AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS at Christies in Melbourne and was even below the estimate range of AUD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, The Odyssey is the most expensive artwork by Salvatore Zofrea that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Salvatore Zofrea
Im Mai 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Odyssey von Salvatore Zofrea für AUD 9.400,00 (€ 5.634,44) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS bei Christies in Melbourne erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Odyssey das teuerste Kunstwerk von Salvatore Zofrea, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
