Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Day Auction, which included the work Hombre rojo by Rufino Tamayo. Here, the upper estimate of USD 220,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 226,800.00 (€ 211,350.29). 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
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hombre rojo von Rufino Tamayo zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 220.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 226.800,00 (€ 211.350,29) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
