Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Male Nude Lying On A Rock by Pietro Antonio Novelli was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,159.22). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pietro Antonio Novelli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Neptune, Standing, Facing Left, A Dolphin At His Feet , which sold at auction in July 2007 for GBP 11,400.00 (€ 16,931.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Male Nude Lying On A Rock von Pietro Antonio Novelli im Januar 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.159,22) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Pietro Antonio Novelli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Neptune, Standing, Facing Left, A Dolphin At His Feet beobachtet, die im Juli 2007 für GBP 11.400,00 (€ 16.931,63) versteigert wurde.
