Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work From The Spirals Series by Francisco Infante was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,447.30). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francisco Infante - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Design For A Spiral 2, which sold at auction in March 2008 for GBP 72,500.00 (€ 91,077.98).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit From The Spirals Series von Francisco Infante im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.447,30) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Francisco Infante mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Design For A Spiral 2 beobachtet, die im März 2008 für GBP 72.500,00 (€ 91.077,98) versteigert wurde.
