Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.
This artwork by Diego Rivera achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Modern Day Auction auction, the work El peluquero sold for USD 107,100.00 (€ 99,804.31) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Diego Rivera achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Rivals in November last year with an auction result of USD 14,130,000.00 (€ 13,687,881.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Diego Rivera erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Day Auction wurde die Arbeit El peluquero für USD 107.100,00 (€ 99.804,31) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Diego Rivera erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Rivals im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 14.130.000,00 (€ 13.687.881,43).
