Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sunset I by Mercedes Lasarte was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,063.00 (€ 2,924.28). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mercedes Lasarte - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Green, which sold at auction in February 2009 for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,923.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sunset I von Mercedes Lasarte im Oktober 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.063,00 (€ 2.924,28) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Mercedes Lasarte mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Green beobachtet, die im Februar 2009 für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.923,23) versteigert wurde.
