Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction Property from the Estate of Bernard Chappard Online, which included the work Untitled (April 26 1971) by Gonzalo Fonseca. The price achieved of USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,427.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gonzalo Fonseca achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Madre Cava in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 468,500.00 (€ 416,963.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Property from the Estate of Bernard Chappard Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (April 26 1971) von Gonzalo Fonseca zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.427,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gonzalo Fonseca erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Madre Cava im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 468.500,00 (€ 416.963,33).
