Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Village by Alejandro Obregón was sold in the Latin America: Modern Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2015. The price achieved of USD 68,750.00 (€ 65,091.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Village von Alejandro Obregón wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Latin America: Modern Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 65.091,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
