Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study For A Seated St Joseph, His Head Resting On His Right Hand by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2014. The price achieved of GBP 1,314,500.00 (€ 1,657,997.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Madonna of the Magnificat in November last year with an auction result of USD 48,480,000.00 (€ 46,963,092.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study For A Seated St Joseph, His Head Resting On His Right Hand von Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi wurde im Juli 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.314.500,00 (€ 1.657.997,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Madonna of the Magnificat im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 48.480.000,00 (€ 46.963.092,12).
