Upper estimate price exceeded by 96 %.
This artwork by Luis Martínez-Pedro achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. In the Impressionist & Modern Art auction, the work Diablitos Haciendo MúSica sold for USD 1,764.00 (€ 1,514.55) - well above the upper estimate of USD 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luis Martínez-Pedro achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition No. 16 in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 43,750.00 (€ 41,359.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Luis Martínez-Pedro erzielte im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art wurde die Arbeit Diablitos Haciendo MúSica für USD 1.764,00 (€ 1.514,55) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luis Martínez-Pedro erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composition No. 16 im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 41.359,43).
