Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
The work Eve by Auguste Rodin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2007. It achieved a price of USD 2,281,000.00 (€ 1,552,968.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. 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 um 52 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Eve von Auguste Rodin kam im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 2.281.000,00 (€ 1.552.968,41) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 52%. 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).
