A top price for Juan Downey
When the work Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Potash by Juan Downey was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 100,000.00 (€ 89,694.14). This high result makes Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Potash the most expensive artwork by Juan Downey that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Juan Downey
Als die Arbeit Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Potash von Juan Downey im Mai 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.000,00 (€ 89.694,14) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Potash zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Juan Downey, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
