Auction result well in line with expectations

The work 'El Quijote De La Farola', 1959 by Alberto Korda was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in May 2018. The price achieved of EUR 2,640.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alberto Korda - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Guerrillero Heroico (Che Guevara), 5/30/1960, which sold at auction in March 2015 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,473.89).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit 'El Quijote De La Farola', 1959 von Alberto Korda kam im Mai 2018 bei Sothebys in Paris zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 2.640,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alberto Korda mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Guerrillero Heroico (Che Guevara), 5/30/1960 beobachtet, die im März 2015 für USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.473,89) versteigert wurde.
