Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
The work Figure Debout by Alberto Giacometti was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in June 2011. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 553,250.00 (€ 612,068.29), 38% 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).

Die Arbeit Figure Debout von Alberto Giacometti wurde im Juni 2011 in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 553.250,00 (€ 612.068,29) und damit 38% 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).
