Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Poet and his family by José Luis Cuevas was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 250.00 (€ 224.13). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by José Luis Cuevas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Funeral of A Dictator, The Farce in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 12,000.00 (€ 9,049.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Poet and his family von José Luis Cuevas im Juni 2015 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 250,00 (€ 224,13) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von José Luis Cuevas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Funeral of A Dictator, The Farce im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.000,00 (€ 9.049,09).
