Auction result well in line with expectations
The work La Playa by Juan Soriano was sold in the Modern Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 88,200.00 (€ 82,191.78) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Juan Soriano - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Apolo y las musas, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 250,000.00 (€ 210,119.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit La Playa von Juan Soriano wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 82.191,78) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Juan Soriano mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Apolo y las musas beobachtet, die im November 2017 für USD 250.000,00 (€ 210.119,35) versteigert wurde.
