Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2001 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Drawings incl.Leonardo da Vinci's Horse and Rider, which included the work A Dog In Profile To The Left In A Landscape by Virgil Solis. The price achieved of GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,653.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Virgil Solis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Philosophy Enthroned and Classical Allegory With The Arms Of The Ochsenfelder, Two Leaves, Manuscript and Drawing On Paper in April 2013 with an auction result of USD 117,750.00 (€ 89,421.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Drawings incl.Leonardo da Vinci's Horse and Rider durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Dog In Profile To The Left In A Landscape von Virgil Solis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.653,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Virgil Solis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Philosophy Enthroned and Classical Allegory With The Arms Of The Ochsenfelder, Two Leaves, Manuscript and Drawing On Paper im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 117.750,00 (€ 89.421,32).
