Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Figure by Eugenio Fernández Granell was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,375.00 (€ 2,155.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eugenio Fernández Granell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Excursión al Grial del Pico Sacro in October 2007 with an auction result of EUR 24,250.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Figure von Eugenio Fernández Granell im November 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.375,00 (€ 2.155,37) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eugenio Fernández Granell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Excursión al Grial del Pico Sacro im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 24.250,00.
