Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Piccolo Cavaliere (Small Rider) by Marino Marini was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 252,000.00 (€ 292,752.32). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marino Marini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Idea Del Cavaliere in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 7,040,000.00 (€ 5,233,033.52).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Piccolo Cavaliere (Small Rider) von Marino Marini im Juni letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 252.000,00 (€ 292.752,32) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marino Marini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Idea Del Cavaliere im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.040.000,00 (€ 5.233.033,52).
