A top price for Pier Francesco Mola
When the work An artist and a youth by Pier Francesco Mola was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 3,086,000.00 (€ 3,590,877.36). This high result makes An artist and a youth the most expensive artwork by Pier Francesco Mola that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Pier Francesco Mola
Als die Arbeit An artist and a youth von Pier Francesco Mola im Januar 2002 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 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.086.000,00 (€ 3.590.877,36) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht An artist and a youth zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Pier Francesco Mola, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
