Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Poisson porc-epic by Mauro Corda was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,125.89). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mauro Corda - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Contorsionniste IX. 2007., which sold at auction in June 2018 for CHF 23,300.00 (€ 20,109.39).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Poisson porc-epic von Mauro Corda im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.125,89) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Mauro Corda mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Contorsionniste IX. 2007. beobachtet, die im Juni 2018 für CHF 23.300,00 (€ 20.109,39) versteigert wurde.
