In November 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Sale Day Session, which included the work Astropez, from the series 'Serie de las lunas' by Raquel Forner. The »bidding war« ended at USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,212.42), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Raquel Forner; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Memoria ancestral No. 1 sold at auction in November 2012 with the realized price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 15,372.79).

Im November 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Sale Day Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Astropez, from the series 'Serie de las lunas' von Raquel Forner zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 10.212,42) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Raquel Forner; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Memoria ancestral No. 1 im November 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 15.372,79).
