A top price for Marco Dente
When the work Laocoön by Marco Dente was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,271.53). This high result makes Laocoön the most expensive artwork by Marco Dente that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Marco Dente
Als die Arbeit Laocoön von Marco Dente im Januar 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.000,00 (€ 28.271,53) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Laocoön zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Marco Dente, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
