Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Study of an elderly man smoking narghile by Amadeo Preziosi was sold in the Travel & Exploration auction at Bonhams in London in September last year. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,451.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Amadeo Preziosi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Album de 79 vues de Malte, Italie, France, Bulgarie, Roumanie et Turquie in March 2004 with an auction result of EUR 228,250.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Study of an elderly man smoking narghile von Amadeo Preziosi wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Travel & Exploration bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.451,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Amadeo Preziosi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Album de 79 vues de Malte, Italie, France, Bulgarie, Roumanie et Turquie im März 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 228.250,00.
