Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In October 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work Playa De Valencia by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. The »bidding war« ended at USD 50,400.00 (€ 43,272.95), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Spanish pescadores Valencianos (Valencian Fishermen) in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 3,737,250.00 (€ 4,603,912.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Playa De Valencia von Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 50.400,00 (€ 43.272,95) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Spanish pescadores Valencianos (Valencian Fishermen) im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.737.250,00 (€ 4.603.912,82).
