Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Xavier Martinez achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in April this year. In the California Art auction, the work Monterey Bay at Dusk sold for USD 14,025.00 (€ 12,703.80) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xavier Martinez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Old Alcaiseria, Guadalajara, Mexico, which sold at auction in June 2002 for USD 45,410.00 (€ 46,073.46).
