Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Woman and Child (A Pair of Works) by Ángel Botello was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 94,500.00 (€ 81,804.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ángel Botello - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Niña durmiendo, which sold at auction in November 2007 for USD 397,000.00 (€ 270,288.67).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Woman and Child (A Pair of Works) von Ángel Botello im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 94.500,00 (€ 81.804,02) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ángel Botello mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Niña durmiendo beobachtet, die im November 2007 für USD 397.000,00 (€ 270.288,67) versteigert wurde.
