Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2015 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Vista De Santiago Desde El Cerro Santa Lucía Hacia El Oriente by Johann Moritz Rugendas. Here, the upper estimate of USD 200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 221,000.00 (€ 209,240.67). Admittedly, works by Johann Moritz Rugendas have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Independencia market, Lima in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 725,000.00 (€ 847,642.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Vista De Santiago Desde El Cerro Santa Lucía Hacia El Oriente von Johann Moritz Rugendas zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 221.000,00 (€ 209.240,67) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Johann Moritz Rugendas auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Independencia market, Lima im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 725.000,00 (€ 847.642,63).
