This artwork by Rafael Soriano achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2020. In the Latin American Art Online auction, the work Contraste sold for USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,201.21) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rafael Soriano - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fuente Cálida, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 81,900.00 (€ 72,561.35).
