Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction Master Drawings from a Distinguished European Collection, which included the work Study For A Figure Of Icarus by Lorenzo De Ferrari. The price achieved of GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,272.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Lorenzo De Ferrari have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Adorazione Dei Pastori in June 2011 with an auction result of EUR 48,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Master Drawings from a Distinguished European Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study For A Figure Of Icarus von Lorenzo De Ferrari zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.272,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lorenzo De Ferrari auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Adorazione Dei Pastori im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 48.750,00.
