Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jesús Rafael Soto could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in May last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work S/T changed hands for USD 378,000.00 (€ 352,250.49) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 400,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jesús Rafael Soto - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vibración Blanca, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 1,035,000.00 (€ 886,889.46).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jesús Rafael Soto konnte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction wechselte die Arbeit S/T für USD 378.000,00 (€ 352.250,49) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 400.000,00 – 500.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jesús Rafael Soto mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vibración Blanca beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 1.035.000,00 (€ 886.889,46) versteigert wurde.
