Auction result well in line with expectations

In January 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings, which included the work Saint Paul by Doménikos Theotokópoulos. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,542,500.00 (€ 1,580,916.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Doménikos Theotokópoulos have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Saint Dominic In Prayer in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 9,154,500.00 (€ 10,460,611.84).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Januar 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Paul von Doménikos Theotokópoulos zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.542.500,00 (€ 1.580.916,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Doménikos Theotokópoulos auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Saint Dominic In Prayer im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.154.500,00 (€ 10.460.611,84).
