Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2018 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session, which included the work La Volanta by Pedro Figari. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 52,500.00 (€ 44,987.15) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pedro Figari - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Baile Criollo, which sold at auction in May 2011 for USD 146,500.00 (€ 101,905.95).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2018 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit La Volanta von Pedro Figari zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 44.987,15) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Pedro Figari mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Baile Criollo beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für USD 146.500,00 (€ 101.905,95) versteigert wurde.
