Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Illustration Of Art by Antonio Dias was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 125,000.00 – 175,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 137,500.00 (€ 122,374.51) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio Dias - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Free Continent: Natural Richnesses, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 434,500.00 (€ 333,973.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Illustration Of Art von Antonio Dias kam im Mai 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 125.000,00 – 175.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 137.500,00 (€ 122.374,51) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio Dias mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Free Continent: Natural Richnesses beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 434.500,00 (€ 333.973,87) versteigert wurde.
