Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Manuel Mendive could be acquired at Christies in New York in September last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Latin American Art auction, the work Los hijos del agua, conversando con un pez changed hands for USD 37,800.00 (€ 38,638.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Manuel Mendive - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Energías para el amor y la bondad, which sold at auction in May 2017 for USD 125,000.00 (€ 111,249.56).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Manuel Mendive konnte im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Latin American Art wechselte die Arbeit Los hijos del agua, conversando con un pez für USD 37.800,00 (€ 38.638,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Manuel Mendive mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Energías para el amor y la bondad beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für USD 125.000,00 (€ 111.249,56) versteigert wurde.
