A top price for Luis Alvarez Catalá - as previously expected
The work A Difficult Decision by Luis Alvarez Catalá was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 71,700.00 (€ 72,563.51) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Difficult Decision is the most expensive artwork by Luis Alvarez Catalá that we have observed at auctions so far.
