Auction result well in line with expectations

In February 2000 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work A figure in a gondola with St Marks Square beyond by Umberto Ongania. The price achieved of GBP 345.00 (€ 564.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Admittedly, works by Umberto Ongania have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Decorated gondolas in the Bacino di San Marco in April 2001 with an auction result of GBP 3,290.00 (€ 5,303.89).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Februar 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A figure in a gondola with St Marks Square beyond von Umberto Ongania zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 345,00 (€ 564,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Umberto Ongania auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Decorated gondolas in the Bacino di San Marco im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.303,89).
