Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of an artist, traditionally identified as Pier Francesco Mola by Giovanni Battista Pace for USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,153.28). This price was achieved in the auction From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Giovanni Battista Pace 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 Luke painting the Virgin in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,496.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of an artist, traditionally identified as Pier Francesco Mola von Giovanni Battista Pace für USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.153,28) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Pace auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Saint Luke painting the Virgin im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.496,55).
