This artwork by Alexander Calder achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in June last year. In the Editions Southampton auction, the work Composition with Clouds and Spheres sold for USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,823.10) - well above the upper estimate of USD 4,500.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Calder erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions Southampton wurde die Arbeit Composition with Clouds and Spheres für USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.823,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 4.500,00. 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).
