Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In February 2018 Phillips in New York held the auction New Now, which included the work Untitled (Glass on Body Imprints) by Ana Mendieta. The »bidding war« ended at USD 60,000.00 (€ 49,136.02), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ana Mendieta - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (From the Fetish Series), which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 102,500.00 (€ 134,065.98).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2018 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion New Now durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Glass on Body Imprints) von Ana Mendieta zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 49.136,02) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ana Mendieta mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (From the Fetish Series) beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 102.500,00 (€ 134.065,98) versteigert wurde.
