A top price for Vicente do Rego Monteiro
When this work without title by Vicente do Rego Monteiro was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 74,500.00 (€ 60,231.22). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Vicente do Rego Monteiro that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Vicente do Rego Monteiro
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Vicente do Rego Monteiro im Mai 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 74.500,00 (€ 60.231,22) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Vicente do Rego Monteiro, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
