Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work The Nativity by Antonio Gattorno. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 36,770.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio Gattorno - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Waiting for the Coffee Fragment of Bacardi Mural, which sold at auction in June 2007 for USD 120,000.00 (€ 88,757.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Nativity von Antonio Gattorno zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 36.770,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio Gattorno mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Waiting for the Coffee Fragment of Bacardi Mural beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für USD 120.000,00 (€ 88.757,40) versteigert wurde.
