Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Casa aperta by Afro was auctioned at Sothebys in Milan in April last year. It achieved a price of EUR 239,400.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33 %. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Afro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Porta Portese, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 938,500.00 (€ 721,368.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Casa aperta von Afro kam im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Mailand zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 239.400,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33 %. Für andere Arbeiten von Afro mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Porta Portese beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 938.500,00 (€ 721.368,18) versteigert wurde.
