Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Group Of 3 Sculptures by Amilcar de Castro was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,500.00 (€ 28,872.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Amilcar de Castro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Escultura De Corte, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 65,091.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Group Of 3 Sculptures von Amilcar de Castro im Mai 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.500,00 (€ 28.872,81) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Amilcar de Castro mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Escultura De Corte beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 65.091,84) versteigert wurde.
