Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Made In Brasil by Nelson Leirner was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,342.97). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nelson Leirner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Homenagem a Fontana I in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 359,000.00 (€ 263,854.18).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Made In Brasil von Nelson Leirner im September 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.342,97) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nelson Leirner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Homenagem a Fontana I im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 359.000,00 (€ 263.854,18).
