A top price for Benjamin Cañas - as previously expected
In November 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Sale, which included the work The Nightwatch of Dr. Kauffman by Benjamin Cañas. The price achieved of USD 60,000.00 (€ 50,890.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Nightwatch of Dr. Kauffman is the most expensive artwork by Benjamin Cañas that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Nightwatch of Dr. Kauffman von Benjamin Cañas zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 50.890,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Nightwatch of Dr. Kauffman das teuerste Kunstwerk von Benjamin Cañas, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
