Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Latin American Art Online, which included the work Espejo mariposa by Pedro Friedeberg. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,930.07), 18% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Pedro Friedeberg have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Vision y presagio del profeta Habakkuk in May last year with an auction result of USD 69,300.00 (€ 64,579.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Latin American Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Espejo mariposa von Pedro Friedeberg zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.930,07) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pedro Friedeberg auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Vision y presagio del profeta Habakkuk im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 69.300,00 (€ 64.579,26).
