Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Estructura - Objeto by Omar Carreño was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,875.00 (€ 10,487.50). Admittedly, works by Omar Carreño have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 98,500.00 (€ 79,666.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Estructura - Objeto von Omar Carreño im November 2018 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 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.875,00 (€ 10.487,50) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Omar Carreño auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 98.500,00 (€ 79.666,77).
