This artwork by Angel Acosta León achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2008. In the Latin American Sale Day Session auction, the work Toro volador sold for USD 27,500.00 (€ 21,663.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Angel Acosta León; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cristo sold at auction in November 2010 with the realized price of USD 43,750.00 (€ 33,560.91).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 83 % übertroffen
