A top price for Niccolò Lapiccola
When the work Ten drawings from the Life of Psyche, after Raphael by Niccolò Lapiccola was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 71,700.00 (€ 58,871.83). This high result makes Ten drawings from the Life of Psyche, after Raphael the most expensive artwork by Niccolò Lapiccola that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Niccolò Lapiccola
Als die Arbeit Ten drawings from the Life of Psyche, after Raphael von Niccolò Lapiccola im Juni 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 71.700,00 (€ 58.871,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Ten drawings from the Life of Psyche, after Raphael zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Niccolò Lapiccola, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
