Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Omar Carreño could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work Transformación C6 changed hands for USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,057.65) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 18,000.00 – 22,000.00. 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
Dieses Kunstwerk von Omar Carreño konnte im September 2018 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wechselte die Arbeit Transformación C6 für USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.057,65) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 18.000,00 – 22.000,00. 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).
