Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Day Auction, which included the work Bishop by Fernando Botero. The price achieved of USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 450,000.00 – 600,000.00. Admittedly, works by Fernando Botero have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Musicians in November this year with an auction result of USD 5,132,000.00 (€ 4,704,803.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bishop von Fernando Botero zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 529.200,00 (€ 493.150,68) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 450.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Fernando Botero auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Musicians im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.132.000,00 (€ 4.704.803,81).
