Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Souvenir of Venice by Alejandro Obregón was sold in the Latin America auction at Phillips in New York in November 2014. Here, the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 125,000.00 (€ 100,498.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alejandro Obregón - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bodegón, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 252,000.00 (€ 234,833.66).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Souvenir of Venice von Alejandro Obregón wurde im November 2014 in der Auktion Latin America bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 125.000,00 (€ 100.498,47) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alejandro Obregón mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bodegón beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 252.000,00 (€ 234.833,66) versteigert wurde.
