In December 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work The Nativity by Tommaso di Credi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 106,250.00 (€ 144,282.39), 52% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tommaso di Credi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Madonna And Child With The Infant Saint John The Baptist sold at auction in July 2014 with the realized price of GBP 116,500.00 (€ 146,943.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Nativity von Tommaso di Credi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 106.250,00 (€ 144.282,39) und damit 52% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Tommaso di Credi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Madonna And Child With The Infant Saint John The Baptist im Juli 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 116.500,00 (€ 146.943,13).
