Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Figura Frente Al Sol by Guillermo Meza was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,184.80). Admittedly, works by Guillermo Meza have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Las Majares in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 38,355.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Figura Frente Al Sol von Guillermo Meza im November 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.184,80) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Guillermo Meza auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Las Majares im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 38.355,32).
