A top price for Orazio Borgianni
When the work Christ Amongst The Doctors by Orazio Borgianni was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 3,401,250.00 (€ 4,332,278.32). This high result makes Christ Amongst The Doctors the most expensive artwork by Orazio Borgianni that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.401.250,00 (€ 4.332.278,32) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Christ Amongst The Doctors zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Orazio Borgianni, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
