Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Flower Basket by Frida Kahlo was sold in the Latin American Art auction at Christies in New York in November 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,135,000.00 (€ 2,845,085.76) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frida Kahlo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Diego y yo in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 34,883,000.00 (€ 30,905,466.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Flower Basket von Frida Kahlo wurde im November 2019 in der Auktion Latin American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.135.000,00 (€ 2.845.085,76) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frida Kahlo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Diego y yo im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 34.883.000,00 (€ 30.905.466,47).
