Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Guabancex (Esculturas Rupestres) Goddess Of The Wind (Rupestrian Sculptures) by Ana Mendieta. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 87,500.00 (€ 74,978.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Ana Mendieta have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in February 2008 the work Untitled (From the Fetish Series) was auctioned for GBP 102,500.00 (€ 134,065.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Guabancex (Esculturas Rupestres) Goddess Of The Wind (Rupestrian Sculptures) von Ana Mendieta zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 74.978,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von Ana Mendieta konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im Februar 2008 die Arbeit Untitled (From the Fetish Series) für GBP 102.500,00 (€ 134.065,98) versteigert.
