Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
In April 2003 Christies in New York held the auction Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints, which included the work The Katunes by Dr. Atl. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,170.00 (€ 5,838.76), 59% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dr. Atl achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mañana Luminosa in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,268,639.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Im April 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Katunes von Dr. Atl zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.170,00 (€ 5.838,76) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dr. Atl erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mañana Luminosa im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.268.639,51).
