The work Buste d'Annette VI by Alberto Giacometti was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in New York in May 2017. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,127,500.00 (€ 2,783,463.87), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alberto Giacometti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'homme au doigt in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 141,285,000.00 (€ 128,511,006.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
