This artwork by Jose Mijares achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in May 2020. In the Modern & Contemporary Art20th Century to Today auction, the work Untitled (Concrete) sold for USD 16,325.00 (€ 14,709.86) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jose Mijares - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lo concreto en rojo, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 50,400.00 (€ 46,966.73).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
