Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Javier Marín achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2010. In the Latin American Sale auction, the work Torso sold for USD 50,000.00 (€ 40,423.64) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Javier Marín erzielte im Mai 2010 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Latin American Sale wurde die Arbeit Torso für USD 50.000,00 (€ 40.423,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. 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.
