Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Bathsheba at her bath by Artemisia Gentileschi was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600,000.00 – 800,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 550,000.00 (€ 656,797.69). Admittedly, works by Artemisia Gentileschi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lucrèce in November 2019 with an auction result of EUR 4,777,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Bathsheba at her bath von Artemisia Gentileschi im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 550.000,00 (€ 656.797,69) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Artemisia Gentileschi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Lucrèce im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 4.777.000,00.
