Goya Tauromaquia First 1st Edition

The Goya Tauromaquia first 1st edition was limited to a small print run and had 29 – 33 plates in the volume. Recently, a Goya Tauromaquia first 1st edition sold for almost $350,000. A Goya Tauromaquia first 1st edition auctioned earlier in 2017 for over $525,000. There are no other auction records that we can find for a Goya Tauromaquia first 1st edition so it is quite scarce.

In one of our recent books and manuscripts auction, we sold a Nobel Prize for almost $800,000. We had two billionaires bid against each other and they are now in the market for a Goya Tauromaquia first 1st edition. Here is the article from NBC News on our Nate D. Sanders auction house and our $765,000 sale:

Physicist Leon Lederman’s Nobel Prize Medal Sells for $765,000

by ALAN BOYLE

The Nobel Prize gold medal that physicist Leon Lederman won in 1988 was auctioned off on Thursday for a winning bid of $633,335, plus a buyer’s premium that brought the final price to $765,002.

That put the transaction at No. 4 on the list of 10 Nobel Prize sales over the past 30 years, said Sam Heller, a spokesman for Nate D. Sanders Auctions. The reserve price had been set at $325,000, and six bids were received during a back-and-forth session that went almost two hours into overtime.

“I’m shocked it sold at all,” Lederman’s wife, Ellen, told The Associated Presson Friday. “We would let little kids play with it and have their picture taken.”

Auction manager Laura Yntema told NBC News that the winning bid was placed online — but she declined to provide further information about the buyer, citing the auction house’s confidentiality rules.

Lederman, 92, won a share of the physics prize for his role in the discovery of the muon neutrino — but he’s arguably best-known for his 1993 book about the search for the Higgs boson, titled “The God Particle.” That label for the elusive subatomic particle rankles some physicists to this day. (Lederman joked that his publisher wouldn’t let him use his preferred title, “The Goddamn Particle.”)

Lederman used his share of the money from the 1988 Nobel Prize to buy a vacation cabin in Idaho — which he and his wife now use as their principal residence.

Ellen Lederman, who is 67, told AP that she and her husband have been living comfortably in retirement, but that they now face potentially costly medical bills and uncertainty following a diagnosis of dementia for the Nobel-winning physicist.

“It’s terrible,” she said. “It’s really hard. I wish it could be different. But he’s happy. He likes where he lives with cats and dogs and horses. He doesn’t have any problems with anxiety, and that makes me glad that he’s so content.”

In a statement forwarded to NBC News by Fermilab, where Lederman worked for decades, the couple said they hoped the auction would raise “the awareness of physics research in the United States and around the world.”
