Sotheby's New York held its two-day spring sale of Latin American art on May 24-25, 2005, and tallied a grand total of $12,756,400, with 78 percent of the lots finding buyers. The highlight of the sale was Diego Rivera's 1928 La Ofrenda, a naïve but haunting rendering of two children in the jungle, which sold for $1,584,000.
Sotheby's new Latin American art chief Carmen Melián noted strength across all three major categories -- the Mexican masters, Southern School Constructivists and the Kinetic movement -- as well as strong prices for Colonial works.
In a distribution that reflects Melián's analysis, the auction set new records for five artists: Joaquín Torres-García ($940,000, for his 1935 Constructivo en Blanco y Negro); Alejandro Otero ($162,000, paid for a 1957 Kinetic art construction); Carlos Cruz Diez ($57,000, for Physicromie #245, another Kinetic construction, this one from 1966); Juan Pedro López ($144,000 for La Virgen, Reina y Pastora de la Iglesia, 1780); and Fray Alonso López de Herrera ($102,000, for his 1640 Immaculate Conception, a ca. 21 x 15 in. oil painting on copper).

Domestic
For shipping within the USA we will use USPS Priority Mail flat rate envelope at $6.00 USD for one catalog - we find this to be the most reliable with quick delivery times.

On multiple or larger quantity purchases (i.e., two or more catalogs) we default to USPS Priority Mail flat rate box at $12.00 (FYI up to 2 to10 catalogs in each box depending on the size of the catalogs - which saves you $$ on combined sales) or combined media mail for larger quantities.
If the catalog is oversized (FYI the oversized catalogs will not fit into a P.M. envelope) or upon request USPS Media mail shipping will start at $4.00 for a normal size catalog.
International
For the majority of our international customers one normal size catalog via USPS Priority flat rate will be $13.00 USD. Shipping to Canada & Mexico is $11.00 via USPS Priority flat- rate envelope service. Please note: we can sometimes fit 2 catalogs into one USPS Priority flat-rate envelope within the 4 U.S. pound weight limit - BUT check with us first to make sure if we can .
A great feature that is now available is USPS Priority Mail flat-rate box which means we can put up to 7-10 catalogs (depending on the size of the catalogs) via airmail into one box for $42.00 and $26.00 to Canada & Mexico - giving you great savings & quick service on multiple catalog orders!!!
