Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Totem by Pedro de Oraá was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,970.00 (€ 10,193.31). Admittedly, works by Pedro de Oraá have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Concreta 6 in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 46,250.00 (€ 41,972.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Totem von Pedro de Oraá im März 2021 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.970,00 (€ 10.193,31) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pedro de Oraá auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Concreta 6 im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.250,00 (€ 41.972,96).
