Sold at the lower estimate price
In April 2008 Christies in Beverly Hills held the auction California, Western And American Paintings, Drawings And Sculpture, which included the work Flower Sellers by Mabel Alvarez. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 9,635.15) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mabel Alvarez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Marketplace, which sold at auction in October 2000 for USD 17,625.00 (€ 20,769.50).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im April 2008 führte Christies in Beverly Hills die Auktion California, Western And American Paintings, Drawings And Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flower Sellers von Mabel Alvarez zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 9.635,15) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mabel Alvarez mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Marketplace beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für USD 17.625,00 (€ 20.769,50) versteigert wurde.
