Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figuras caminando by Rufino Tamayo was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 730,800.00 (€ 681,017.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Admittedly, works by Rufino Tamayo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work America in November 2008 with an auction result of USD 6,802,500.00 (€ 5,358,830.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figuras caminando von Rufino Tamayo kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 730.800,00 (€ 681.017,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Rufino Tamayo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit America im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.802.500,00 (€ 5.358.830,94).
