Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Manuel Rivera achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March 2017. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Metamorfosis (Onírico) sold for GBP 50,000.00 (€ 58,595.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Manuel Rivera - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Espeso para una catedral, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 120,500.00 (€ 157,609.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Manuel Rivera erzielte im März 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Metamorfosis (Onírico) für GBP 50.000,00 (€ 58.595,06) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Manuel Rivera mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Espeso para una catedral beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 120.500,00 (€ 157.609,27) versteigert wurde.
