Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Venetian Backwater by Umberto Ongania was sold in the British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction at Christies in London in December 2003. The price achieved of GBP 235.00 (€ 332.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 300.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Umberto Ongania achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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
Die Arbeit A Venetian Backwater von Umberto Ongania wurde im Dezember 2003 in der Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 235,00 (€ 332,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Umberto Ongania erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Decorated gondolas in the Bacino di San Marco im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.303,89).
