Despite a disappointment, a good price for Joaquín Torres-García

This work of art by Joaquín Torres-García could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in May 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale auction, the work Construcción En Blanco changed hands for USD 3,380,000.00 (€ 3,031,662.03) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,500,000.00 – 4,500,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Construcción En Blanco is the most expensive artwork by Joaquín Torres-García that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Joaquín Torres-García

Dieses Kunstwerk von Joaquín Torres-García konnte im Mai 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale wechselte die Arbeit Construcción En Blanco für USD 3.380.000,00 (€ 3.031.662,03) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.500.000,00 – 4.500.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Construcción En Blanco das teuerste Kunstwerk von Joaquín Torres-García, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
