Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Tiziano Vecellio achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2013. In the Renaissance auction, the work The Submersion Of Pharaoh'S Army In The Red Sea sold for USD 854,500.00 (€ 629,048.88) - well above the upper estimate of USD 350,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tiziano Vecellio achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Sacra Conversazione: The Madonna And Child With Saints Luke And Catherine Of Alexandria in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 16,882,500.00 (€ 12,309,515.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tiziano Vecellio erzielte im Januar 2013 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Renaissance wurde die Arbeit The Submersion Of Pharaoh'S Army In The Red Sea für USD 854.500,00 (€ 629.048,88) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 350.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tiziano Vecellio erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Sacra Conversazione: The Madonna And Child With Saints Luke And Catherine Of Alexandria im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.882.500,00 (€ 12.309.515,13).
