A top price for Rafael Barrios
When the work Translucid (Cod 763) by Rafael Barrios was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,640.36). This high result makes Translucid (Cod 763) the most expensive artwork by Rafael Barrios that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Translucid (Cod 763) von Rafael Barrios im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.640,36) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Translucid (Cod 763) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Rafael Barrios, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
