Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Collection of Eight Etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in September this year. The price achieved of GBP 2,560.00 (€ 2,560.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Piranesi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An architectural fantasy: the entrance to a palace with a monumental staircase by a fountain in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 358,000.00 (€ 384,615.38).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Collection of Eight Etchings von Giovanni Battista Piranesi wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.560,00 (€ 2.560,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Piranesi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An architectural fantasy: the entrance to a palace with a monumental staircase by a fountain im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 358.000,00 (€ 384.615,38).
