Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
The work Diego assis by Alberto Giacometti was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in London in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 45,660.00 (€ 54,447.94), 30% 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 30 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Diego assis von Alberto Giacometti wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 45.660,00 (€ 54.447,94) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
