Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Collection of Hester Diamond Part I, which included the work Saint Joseph, a head study for the Visitation Altarpiece by Federico Barocci. The price achieved of USD 746,000.00 (€ 614,750.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Federico Barocci - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Head of Saint John the Evangelist, an oil study for The Entombment of Christ in the church of Santa Croce, Senigallia, which sold at auction in January 2009 for USD 1,762,500.00 (€ 1,376,522.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Collection of Hester Diamond Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Joseph, a head study for the Visitation Altarpiece von Federico Barocci zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 746.000,00 (€ 614.750,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Federico Barocci mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Head of Saint John the Evangelist, an oil study for The Entombment of Christ in the church of Santa Croce, Senigallia beobachtet, die im Januar 2009 für USD 1.762.500,00 (€ 1.376.522,96) versteigert wurde.
