Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Luigi Galea achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2004. In the MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) auction, the work Crowded Small Craft Running Out Of Grand Harbour, Valetta, By Moonlight sold for GBP 1,553.50 (€ 2,234.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. Admittedly, works by Luigi Galea have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mediterranean fishing craft off the Maltese coast in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 7,285.00 (€ 11,689.74).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Luigi Galea erzielte im November 2004 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) wurde die Arbeit Crowded Small Craft Running Out Of Grand Harbour, Valetta, By Moonlight für GBP 1.553,50 (€ 2.234,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00.
