Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Cabeza sobre fondo azul by Rufino Tamayo was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in October this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,144.00 (€ 5,813.78), 23% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rufino Tamayo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work America in November 2008 with an auction result of USD 6,802,500.00 (€ 5,358,830.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Cabeza sobre fondo azul von Rufino Tamayo wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.144,00 (€ 5.813,78) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rufino Tamayo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit America im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.802.500,00 (€ 5.358.830,94).
