In November 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art, which included the work Metros (Estudo) by Cildo Meireles. The »bidding war« ended at USD 162,500.00 (€ 153,620.72), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cildo Meireles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rodos, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 641,000.00 (€ 583,045.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im November 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Metros (Estudo) von Cildo Meireles zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 153.620,72) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Cildo Meireles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rodos beobachtet, die im Mai 2015 für USD 641.000,00 (€ 583.045,30) versteigert wurde.
