Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Carta A Los Censores / Letter To The Censors' by Carlos Garaicoa was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 15,120.00 (€ 12,568.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carlos Garaicoa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (from the series New Architectures), which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 56,250.00 (€ 41,357.25).
