Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Vanitas Still Life With A Skull Atop A Book, An Hourglass And Two Glass Vases Of Flowers by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2019. The price achieved of USD 2,415,000.00 (€ 2,166,113.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work King David, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 5,193,250.00 (€ 6,244,298.00).
