Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a young man, traditionally identified as Saint Aloysius (Luigi) Gonzaga (1568-1591), half-length, with a book by Doménikos Theotokópoulos was sold in the Old Masters | New Perspectives: Masterworks from The Alana Collection auction at Christies in New York in June last year. The price achieved of USD 3,660,000.00 (€ 3,496,035.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Doménikos Theotokópoulos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saint Dominic In Prayer, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 9,154,500.00 (€ 10,460,611.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a young man, traditionally identified as Saint Aloysius (Luigi) Gonzaga (1568-1591), half-length, with a book von Doménikos Theotokópoulos wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Old Masters | New Perspectives: Masterworks from The Alana Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.660.000,00 (€ 3.496.035,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Doménikos Theotokópoulos mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saint Dominic In Prayer beobachtet, die im Juli 2013 für GBP 9.154.500,00 (€ 10.460.611,84) versteigert wurde.
