Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Day Auction, which included the work Personaje en verde by Rufino Tamayo. The »bidding war« ended at USD 693,000.00 (€ 645,792.56), 54% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Personaje en verde von Rufino Tamayo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 693.000,00 (€ 645.792,56) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
