Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Objeto Blanco by Oswaldo Vigas was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 106,250.00 (€ 89,300.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oswaldo Vigas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paraíso Inconcluso, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 221,000.00 (€ 209,240.67).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Objeto Blanco von Oswaldo Vigas im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 35.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 106.250,00 (€ 89.300,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Oswaldo Vigas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paraíso Inconcluso beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 221.000,00 (€ 209.240,67) versteigert wurde.
