Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
In April this year Bonhams held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art, which included the work Main gauche dite no. 20, petit modèle by Auguste Rodin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,300.00 (€ 17,437.01), 28% 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 um 28 % übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Main gauche dite no. 20, petit modèle von Auguste Rodin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.300,00 (€ 17.437,01) und damit 28% 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).
