Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Maderas (Figuras Coloniales) by Olga Costa was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 34,375.00 (€ 27,079.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Olga Costa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Juchiteca con sandía, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 100,000.00 (€ 84,047.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Maderas (Figuras Coloniales) von Olga Costa im November 2008 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 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 34.375,00 (€ 27.079,72) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Olga Costa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Juchiteca con sandía beobachtet, die im November 2017 für USD 100.000,00 (€ 84.047,74) versteigert wurde.
