Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Nu debout sur socle cubique by Alberto Giacometti was sold in the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 1,062,000.00 (€ 1,259,120.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 900,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Nu debout sur socle cubique von Alberto Giacometti wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.062.000,00 (€ 1.259.120,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 900.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
