Sold at the lower estimate price
The work He loves it...he loves it not...he loves it... by Alberto Vargas was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2010. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,840.91) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alberto Vargas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vargas Girl--"Trick or treat?", which sold at auction in December 2003 for USD 71,700.00 (€ 56,918.31).

Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.840,91) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Alberto Vargas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vargas Girl--"Trick or treat?" beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für USD 71.700,00 (€ 56.918,31) versteigert wurde.
