With competitive international bidding, the sale totaled a strong $1,156,441 within the estimate of $875,600-1,432.400 with 81% sold by lot and 100% sold by value.

Highlighting the sale was a group of works by the beloved Puerto Rican artist and sculptor Angel Botello that surpassed expectations. Botello served as a cartographer during the Spanish Civil War, and following the war fled Spain for France, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and eventually Puerto Rico, where he established his permanent home and gallery. Often referred to as the “Caribbean Gauguin,” Botello was revered for his vibrant depictions of island life. The top lot of the group was a 1985 bronze sculpture of a Mother and Child that achieved an exceptional $56,700, surpassing its $20,000-40,000 estimate.
