Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Fêtes (Holidays) by Alexander Calder was auctioned at Phillips in New York in June last year. It achieved a price of USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,628.43), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Fêtes (Holidays) von Alexander Calder kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.628,43) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. 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).
