Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Todos estamos colgados by Abigail Varela was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,206.56). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abigail Varela - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mujer Sentada En Sofa, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 75,000.00 (€ 67,270.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Todos estamos colgados von Abigail Varela im Mai 2016 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 22.500,00 (€ 20.206,56) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Abigail Varela mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mujer Sentada En Sofa beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 75.000,00 (€ 67.270,61) versteigert wurde.
