Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction Latin America: Modern Art, which included this untitled work by Martha Boto. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 29,587.20) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martha Boto - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Deplacement Helicoidal Lumineux, 1967, which sold at auction in December 2011 for EUR 83,565.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Latin America: Modern Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Martha Boto zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 29.587,20) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Martha Boto mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Deplacement Helicoidal Lumineux, 1967 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2011 für EUR 83.565,00 versteigert wurde.
