This artwork by Juan Downey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2013. In the Latin American Art auction, the work With Energy Beyond These Walls sold for USD 30,000.00 (€ 23,098.24) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Juan Downey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Chilean Nitrate Of Soda Potash, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 100,000.00 (€ 89,694.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen

In der Auktion Latin American Art wurde die Arbeit With Energy Beyond These Walls für USD 30.000,00 (€ 23.098,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00.
