This artwork by Alexander Calder achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November last year. In the Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II auction, the work Two-Toned Moon sold for USD 2,700,000.00 (€ 2,615,518.74) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alexander Calder have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Calder erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II wurde die Arbeit Two-Toned Moon für USD 2.700.000,00 (€ 2.615.518,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexander Calder auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Poisson volant (Flying Fish) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.925.000,00 (€ 19.006.598,24).
