Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Holy Trinity with angels, putti and a congregation of saints: Design for an apsidal ceiling by Giovanni Battista Trotti was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 15,535.00 (€ 20,305.29). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Giovanni Battista Trotti; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of A Man, Seated At A Table With An Open Book, Reading A Letter sold at auction in July 2012 with the realized price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 23,882.46).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Holy Trinity with angels, putti and a congregation of saints: Design for an apsidal ceiling von Giovanni Battista Trotti im Juli 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.535,00 (€ 20.305,29) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Trotti; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man, Seated At A Table With An Open Book, Reading A Letter im Juli 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 23.882,46).
