Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In April last year Christies in New York held the auction Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection, which included the work Pescadores de Mariposas, 1937-1938 by Manuel Álvarez Bravo. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,566.29), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Manuel Álvarez Bravo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait De L'Éternel, Mexico 1935 in November 2010 with an auction result of EUR 228,750.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pescadores de Mariposas, 1937-1938 von Manuel Álvarez Bravo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.566,29) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Manuel Álvarez Bravo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait De L'Éternel, Mexico 1935 im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 228.750,00.
