Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Sembrador de coles also known as Man with Lettuce by Diego Rivera was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 45,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 146,500.00 (€ 112,381.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Diego Rivera achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Rivals in November last year with an auction result of USD 14,130,000.00 (€ 13,687,881.43).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sembrador de coles also known as Man with Lettuce von Diego Rivera im November 2010 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 45.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 146.500,00 (€ 112.381,10) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Diego Rivera erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Rivals im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 14.130.000,00 (€ 13.687.881,43).
