Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Eva Y La Serpiente (Haiti Chérie) by Guillermo Meza was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,980.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guillermo Meza - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Las Majares, which sold at auction in November 2010 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 38,355.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Eva Y La Serpiente (Haiti Chérie) von Guillermo Meza im November 2017 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.875,00 (€ 9.980,67) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Guillermo Meza mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Las Majares beobachtet, die im November 2010 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 38.355,32) versteigert wurde.
