Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Mujer Piedra II by Javier Marín was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 27,720.00 (€ 24,559.23). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Javier Marín - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Torso de hombre amarillo, which sold at auction in September this year for USD 100,800.00 (€ 95,238.10).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Mujer Piedra II von Javier Marín im November 2021 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 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 27.720,00 (€ 24.559,23) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Javier Marín mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Torso de hombre amarillo beobachtet, die im September diesen Jahres für USD 100.800,00 (€ 95.238,10) versteigert wurde.
