Auction result well in line with expectations

In September this year Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Volcano Series, no. 2 by Ana Mendieta. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 44,100.00 (€ 41,666.67) could thus just exceed the lower 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Volcano Series, no. 2 von Ana Mendieta zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 41.666,67) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
