Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In May this year Bonhams held the auction Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples, which included the work Los Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War) (80 works) by Francisco de Goya. The »bidding war« ended at USD 73,455.00 (€ 68,945.94), 47% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francisco de Goya achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Doña María Vicenta Barruso Valdés, seated on a sofa with a lap-dog; and Portrait of her mother Doña Leonora Antonia Valdés de Barruso, seated on a chair holding a fan in January this year with an auction result of USD 16,420,000.00 (€ 15,122,490.33).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Los Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War) (80 works) von Francisco de Goya zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 73.455,00 (€ 68.945,94) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francisco de Goya erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Doña María Vicenta Barruso Valdés, seated on a sofa with a lap-dog; and Portrait of her mother Doña Leonora Antonia Valdés de Barruso, seated on a chair holding a fan im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.420.000,00 (€ 15.122.490,33).
