Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Balzac, étude type C (buste), 3ème version, grand modèle by Auguste Rodin was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale auction at Christies in London in June last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 40,320.00 (€ 46,840.37), 15% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Auguste Rodin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Éternel Printemps in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 20,410,000.00 (€ 18,329,591.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Balzac, étude type C (buste), 3ème version, grand modèle von Auguste Rodin wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 40.320,00 (€ 46.840,37) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Auguste Rodin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Éternel Printemps im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.410.000,00 (€ 18.329.591,38).
