Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Dibujo Sin Papel 85/17 by Gego was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2017. The auction ended at the price of USD 200,000.00 (€ 168,095.48), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gego - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dibujo sin papel 85/13, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 701,000.00 (€ 637,620.52).
