Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Portrait d'Annette by Alberto Giacometti was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in London in June last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,245,000.00 (€ 1,446,335.85). 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 Portrait d'Annette von Alberto Giacometti wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.245.000,00 (€ 1.446.335,85) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
