Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work Broken Nose Ii by Juan Munoz. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 356,500.00 (€ 466,288.01), 19% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Juan Munoz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Conversation Piece Iii in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 4,898,500.00 (€ 3,960,303.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Broken Nose Ii von Juan Munoz zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 356.500,00 (€ 466.288,01) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Juan Munoz auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Conversation Piece Iii im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.898.500,00 (€ 3.960.303,99).
