Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work The Bedroom by Fernando Botero was sold in the Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 352,800.00 (€ 328,767.12), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fernando Botero achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Musicians in November this year with an auction result of USD 5,132,000.00 (€ 4,704,803.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Bedroom von Fernando Botero wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 352.800,00 (€ 328.767,12) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fernando Botero erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Musicians im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.132.000,00 (€ 4.704.803,81).
