Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction Latin America: Modern Art | Latin America: Contemporary Art, which included the work Faixas E Mastros by Alfredo Volpi. The price achieved of USD 298,000.00 (€ 267,624.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfredo Volpi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bandeirinhas estruturadas, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 842,500.00 (€ 626,254.37).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Latin America: Modern Art | Latin America: Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Faixas E Mastros von Alfredo Volpi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 298.000,00 (€ 267.624,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfredo Volpi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bandeirinhas estruturadas beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 842.500,00 (€ 626.254,37) versteigert wurde.
