Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Flores by Hugo Zapata was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2013. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,549.12) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugo Zapata - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 32,500.00 (€ 24,980.78).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Flores von Hugo Zapata kam im Mai 2013 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.549,12) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Hugo Zapata mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 32.500,00 (€ 24.980,78) versteigert wurde.
