In November 2010 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Sale, which included the work Play Shadow by Leonora Carrington. The »bidding war« ended at USD 37,500.00 (€ 28,766.49), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leonora Carrington achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Garden of Paracelsus in May last year with an auction result of USD 3,256,500.00 (€ 3,034,665.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im November 2010 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Play Shadow von Leonora Carrington zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 28.766,49) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leonora Carrington erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Garden of Paracelsus im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.256.500,00 (€ 3.034.665,92).
