Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work The Pietà with two Angels by Vittore Carpaccio was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 337,250.00 (€ 391,208.98). Admittedly, works by Vittore Carpaccio have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Lamentation, With The Madonna And Saints Joseph Of Arimathea And John The Evangelist in January 2015 with an auction result of USD 2,853,000.00 (€ 2,527,015.06).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Pietà with two Angels von Vittore Carpaccio im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 337.250,00 (€ 391.208,98) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vittore Carpaccio auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Lamentation, With The Madonna And Saints Joseph Of Arimathea And John The Evangelist im Januar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.853.000,00 (€ 2.527.015,06).
