Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Moon Light Prayer by John Nieto was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 28,160.00 (€ 25,980.26). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Nieto - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Traditional Dancer II, which sold at auction in April this year for USD 69,675.00 (€ 63,111.41).
