Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Iliad Room in the Pitti Palace by Santi Corsi was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 10,575.00 (€ 15,182.91). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Santi Corsi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The interior of the Pitti Palace sold at auction in July 2020 with the realized price of USD 20,075.00 (€ 17,050.28).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Iliad Room in the Pitti Palace von Santi Corsi im August 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.575,00 (€ 15.182,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Santi Corsi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The interior of the Pitti Palace im Juli 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 20.075,00 (€ 17.050,28).
