This artwork by Joaquín Torres-García achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2016. In the Latin American Art auction, the work Cabezas de hombre y mujer a siete tonos (also known as Iniciación del drama-cabezas de hombre mujer a siete tonos) sold for USD 75,000.00 (€ 67,355.19) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joaquín Torres-García achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Construcción En Blanco in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 3,380,000.00 (€ 3,031,662.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joaquín Torres-García erzielte im Mai 2016 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Latin American Art wurde die Arbeit Cabezas de hombre y mujer a siete tonos (also known as Iniciación del drama-cabezas de hombre mujer a siete tonos) für USD 75.000,00 (€ 67.355,19) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joaquín Torres-García erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Construcción En Blanco im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.380.000,00 (€ 3.031.662,03).
