This artwork by Gunther Gerzso achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2021. In the Latin American Art auction, the work Espejo (Autorretrato) sold for USD 212,500.00 (€ 174,266.03) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gunther Gerzso - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paisaje legendario (Azul y naranja), which sold at auction in May last year for USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen
