Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Naturaleza Muerta by Amelia Peláez. The price achieved of USD 197,000.00 (€ 144,789.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 175,000.00 – 225,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Amelia Peláez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Las Hermanas, which sold at auction in May 2013 for USD 569,000.00 (€ 438,096.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Naturaleza Muerta von Amelia Peláez zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 197.000,00 (€ 144.789,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 175.000,00 – 225.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Amelia Peláez mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Las Hermanas beobachtet, die im Mai 2013 für USD 569.000,00 (€ 438.096,70) versteigert wurde.
