Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Winged Genius Gesturing And Holding A Palm Branch; And Winged Genius Seated On A Cloud, Sounding A Trumpet (Bartsch 140-1) by Cherubino Alberti was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,760.00 (€ 6,122.89). Admittedly, works by Cherubino Alberti have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two Prisoners in January 2017 with an auction result of USD 65,000.00 (€ 60,218.64).

Als die Arbeit Winged Genius Gesturing And Holding A Palm Branch; And Winged Genius Seated On A Cloud, Sounding A Trumpet (Bartsch 140-1) von Cherubino Alberti im Juli 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.760,00 (€ 6.122,89) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cherubino Alberti auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Two Prisoners im Januar 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 65.000,00 (€ 60.218,64).
