A top price for Karel Gomes - as previously expected
In September 2011 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Nineteen to Now including Topographical Observations, which included the work Playing otters by Karel Gomes. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 2,750.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Playing otters is the most expensive artwork by Karel Gomes that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2011 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Nineteen to Now including Topographical Observations durch, in der auch die Arbeit Playing otters von Karel Gomes zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 2.750,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Playing otters das teuerste Kunstwerk von Karel Gomes, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
