Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Pericón by Pedro Figari. Here, the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 20,000.00 (€ 17,961.38). Admittedly, works by Pedro Figari have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Baile Criollo in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 146,500.00 (€ 101,905.95).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pericón von Pedro Figari zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 20.000,00 (€ 17.961,38) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pedro Figari auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Baile Criollo im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 146.500,00 (€ 101.905,95).
