This artwork by Josep Tapiró Baró achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2010. In the Orientalist Art auction, the work Head of a moor sold for GBP 32,450.00 (€ 39,462.22) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Josep Tapiró Baró - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Moor In A Headdress, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 102,000.00 (€ 147,592.30).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
