Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alexander Calder achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in November this year. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Retro sold for USD 127,500.00 (€ 116,886.69) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Calder erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Retro für USD 127.500,00 (€ 116.886,69) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. 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).
