Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Sdc by Roberto Obregón. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 75,000.00 (€ 67,270.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roberto Obregón - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ene Eme y Ene De, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 173,000.00 (€ 157,358.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sdc von Roberto Obregón zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 67.270,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Roberto Obregón mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ene Eme y Ene De beobachtet, die im Mai 2015 für USD 173.000,00 (€ 157.358,56) versteigert wurde.
