Auction result misses estimated price range
When this work without title by José Gamarra was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,271.31). Admittedly, works by José Gamarra have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Il U Aura Un Sourd Dans L'Histoire in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 36,000.00 (€ 27,147.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als diese Arbeit ohne Titel von José Gamarra im Juli 2018 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 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.271,31) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von José Gamarra auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Il U Aura Un Sourd Dans L'Histoire im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 36.000,00 (€ 27.147,27).
