Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Christies held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Sfera by Arnaldo Pomodoro. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 300,000.00 (€ 355,418.98), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arnaldo Pomodoro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Giroscopio IV, which sold at auction in October 2015 for GBP 674,500.00 (€ 943,457.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sfera von Arnaldo Pomodoro zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 300.000,00 (€ 355.418,98) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Arnaldo Pomodoro mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Giroscopio IV beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für GBP 674.500,00 (€ 943.457,03) versteigert wurde.
