Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Woman with Raised Arms and Crouching Woman (Two Works) by Manolo was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,655.92). Admittedly, works by Manolo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Jeune catalane in December 2008 with an auction result of EUR 8,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Woman with Raised Arms and Crouching Woman (Two Works) von Manolo im November 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.655,92) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Manolo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Jeune catalane im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.750,00.
