Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Auguste Rodin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in December last year. In the Impressionist & Modern Art auction, the work Main droite crispée, petit modèle sold for USD 57,075.00 (€ 53,351.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Auguste Rodin erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art wurde die Arbeit Main droite crispée, petit modèle für USD 57.075,00 (€ 53.351,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. 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).
