Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
The work Les yeux clos by Auguste Rodin was auctioned at Christies in London in June last year. It achieved a price of GBP 20,160.00 (€ 23,420.19), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 34%. 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 34 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Les yeux clos von Auguste Rodin kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 20.160,00 (€ 23.420,19) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 34%. 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).
