Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Aparato mágico by Edgar Negret was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May 2018. The price achieved of USD 40,000.00 (€ 34,275.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edgar Negret - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Aparato Mágico, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 125,000.00 (€ 105,059.67).
