A top price for Miguel Berrocal - as previously expected
The work Via Appia by Miguel Berrocal was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2014. The price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 50,249.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Via Appia is the most expensive artwork by Miguel Berrocal that we have observed at auctions so far.
