Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Trajectory Through The Sun #18, 1994 by Lita Albuquerque was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 5,355.00 (€ 4,625.55). Admittedly, works by Lita Albuquerque have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Auric Field Solar Flash (Gold au2) in June 2021 with an auction result of USD 44,100.00 (€ 37,221.47).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Trajectory Through The Sun #18, 1994 von Lita Albuquerque im September 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.355,00 (€ 4.625,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lita Albuquerque auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Auric Field Solar Flash (Gold au2) im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 37.221,47).
