Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Piazza San Marco, Venice, looking west; and The Piazza San Marco, Venice, looking east by Francesco Guardi was auctioned at Christies in December last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 315,000.00 (€ 355,604.32) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Guardi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Venice, A View Of The Rialto Bridge, Looking North, From The Fondamenta Del Carbon in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 26,697,250.00 (€ 30,639,088.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Piazza San Marco, Venice, looking west; and The Piazza San Marco, Venice, looking east von Francesco Guardi kam im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 315.000,00 (€ 355.604,32) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Guardi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Venice, A View Of The Rialto Bridge, Looking North, From The Fondamenta Del Carbon im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 26.697.250,00 (€ 30.639.088,35).
