Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Observatorio oriente (Eastern Observatory) by Abraham Cruzvillegas was auctioned at Phillips in New York in February 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,307.67) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abraham Cruzvillegas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Objeto útil pero bonito, which sold at auction in November 2014 for USD 37,500.00 (€ 30,149.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Observatorio oriente (Eastern Observatory) von Abraham Cruzvillegas kam im Februar 2018 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 13.307,67) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Abraham Cruzvillegas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Objeto útil pero bonito beobachtet, die im November 2014 für USD 37.500,00 (€ 30.149,54) versteigert wurde.
