Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2010 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work The racing yawl Lethe under full canvas (illustrated); and The racing yawl Lethe under reduced sail by Vincenzo d'Esposito. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 812.50 (€ 970.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vincenzo d'Esposito - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A view of Valletta Harbour, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,116.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The racing yawl Lethe under full canvas (illustrated); and The racing yawl Lethe under reduced sail von Vincenzo d'Esposito zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 812,50 (€ 970,94) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Vincenzo d'Esposito mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A view of Valletta Harbour beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 1.785,00 (€ 2.116,32) versteigert wurde.
