Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ana Mendieta could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in October 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Photographs auction, the work Untitled (Body Tracks) changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 16,546.06) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ana Mendieta have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (From the Fetish Series) in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 102,500.00 (€ 134,065.98).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ana Mendieta konnte im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Body Tracks) für USD 18.750,00 (€ 16.546,06) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ana Mendieta auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (From the Fetish Series) im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 102.500,00 (€ 134.065,98).
