Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Still Life With Tomatoes, A Bowl Of Aubergines And Onions by Luis Meléndez was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2011. Here, the upper estimate of USD 2,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 2,210,500.00 (€ 1,611,738.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luis Meléndez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Oranges, nuts, spices, boxes of sweetmeats, a jug and a cask on a table, which sold at auction in February 2012 for GBP 3,513,250.00 (€ 4,194,913.60).
