Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Undeniable And Unfortunate Truths by Enrique Martinez Celaya was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 23,750.00 (€ 17,461.95). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Enrique Martinez Celaya - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Beautiful Life, which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 60,000.00 (€ 44,599.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Undeniable And Unfortunate Truths von Enrique Martinez Celaya im September 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 23.750,00 (€ 17.461,95) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Enrique Martinez Celaya mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Beautiful Life beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für USD 60.000,00 (€ 44.599,72) versteigert wurde.
