Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Viento Solano by Martín Chirino was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2008. The price achieved of GBP 70,850.00 (€ 90,015.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martín Chirino - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work El Viento, which sold at auction in June 2021 for EUR 226,800.00.
