Sold at the lower estimate price
In January 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master & British Drawings including property from The Cornelia Bessie Estate, which included the work Head of a man in profile by Giuseppe Cesari. The result of USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,296.25) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giuseppe Cesari achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An angel in flight in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 834,000.00 (€ 721,952.91).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Januar 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings including property from The Cornelia Bessie Estate durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head of a man in profile von Giuseppe Cesari zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.296,25) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Cesari erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An angel in flight im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 834.000,00 (€ 721.952,91).
