Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Carlos Garaicoa could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the TO LIVE WITH ART: Property from the Jerome & Ellen Stern Collection auction, the work La Habitatición De Mi Negatividad (The Room Of My Negativity) changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 15,219.16) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Carlos Garaicoa konnte im März 2018 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion TO LIVE WITH ART: Property from the Jerome & Ellen Stern Collection wechselte die Arbeit La Habitatición De Mi Negatividad (The Room Of My Negativity) für USD 18.750,00 (€ 15.219,16) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Carlos Garaicoa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (from the series New Architectures) beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 56.250,00 (€ 41.357,25) versteigert wurde.
