Chandelier for Peter Watson
bronze with golden brown patina
Height: 52 3/4 in. (134 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Chandelier for Peter Watson by Alberto Giacometti was auctioned at Christies in London in February this year. It achieved a price of GBP 2,922,000.00 (€ 3,332,932.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. 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 leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Chandelier for Peter Watson von Alberto Giacometti kam im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.922.000,00 (€ 3.332.932,09) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 17%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alberto Giacometti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'homme au doigt im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 141.285.000,00 (€ 128.511.006,00).
