Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Oscar de las Flores could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Art in Focus auction, the work Jesus Christ Trying To Leave Behind The Chaos In Mexico City After A Jolly Good Time In Brussels changed hands for USD 1,125.00 (€ 875.08) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Oscar de las Flores have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two works: (i) Shipwreck Survivors, 2004; (ii) Commemorative & Indigestive Celebration of Human Greatness with Octopus in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,541.19).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Oscar de las Flores konnte im September 2012 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Art in Focus wechselte die Arbeit Jesus Christ Trying To Leave Behind The Chaos In Mexico City After A Jolly Good Time In Brussels für USD 1.125,00 (€ 875,08) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Oscar de las Flores auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Two works: (i) Shipwreck Survivors, 2004; (ii) Commemorative & Indigestive Celebration of Human Greatness with Octopus im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.541,19).
