Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cobblestones by Alexander Calder was auctioned at Phillips in New York in November this year. The price achieved of USD 40,640.00 (€ 37,257.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Calder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poisson volant (Flying Fish) in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 25,925,000.00 (€ 19,006,598.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Cobblestones von Alexander Calder kam im November diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 40.640,00 (€ 37.257,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Calder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poisson volant (Flying Fish) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.925.000,00 (€ 19.006.598,24).
