Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Hombre con elote by Ricardo Martínez for USD 69,300.00 (€ 64,579.26). This price was achieved in the auction Modern Day Auction at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ricardo Martínez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figura Yacente, which sold at auction in May 2013 for USD 257,000.00 (€ 197,874.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Hombre con elote von Ricardo Martínez für USD 69.300,00 (€ 64.579,26) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ricardo Martínez mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Figura Yacente beobachtet, die im Mai 2013 für USD 257.000,00 (€ 197.874,96) versteigert wurde.
