Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Capture by Eduardo Guelfenbein was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 6,375.00 (€ 7,387.17). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eduardo Guelfenbein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Force, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 37,500.00 (€ 27,874.82).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Capture von Eduardo Guelfenbein im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.375,00 (€ 7.387,17) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Eduardo Guelfenbein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Force beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 37.500,00 (€ 27.874,82) versteigert wurde.
