Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Architetture, e prospettive, dedicate alla Maest di Carlo Sesto. Augsburg: Andreas Pfeffel, 1740-1744. by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2013. The result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,686.40) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Portico And Staircase Of A Palace With Soldiers And A Woman Being Carried Off On Horseback; An Imaginary View Of A Palace With A Horseman And Angels in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 73,250.00 (€ 90,337.59).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Architetture, e prospettive, dedicate alla Maest di Carlo Sesto. Augsburg: Andreas Pfeffel, 1740-1744. von Giuseppe Galli Bibiena kam im Juni 2013 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.686,40) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Galli Bibiena erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Portico And Staircase Of A Palace With Soldiers And A Woman Being Carried Off On Horseback; An Imaginary View Of A Palace With A Horseman And Angels im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 73.250,00 (€ 90.337,59).
