Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work The Long Journey Back by Enrique Martinez Celaya was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 35,000.00 (€ 30,885.99). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Enrique Martinez Celaya; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Beautiful Life sold at auction in May 2007 with the realized price of USD 60,000.00 (€ 44,599.72).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Long Journey Back von Enrique Martinez Celaya im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 35.000,00 (€ 30.885,99) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Enrique Martinez Celaya; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Beautiful Life im Mai 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 44.599,72).
