The work The Lovers 2 by María Berrío was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in association with Yongle auction at Phillips in Hong Kong in December last year. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 9,930,000.00 (€ 1,189,966.35), 66% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by María Berrío; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of USD 1,603,000.00 (€ 1,552,843.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 66 % übertroffen
