Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art, which included the work Torse d'homme, petit modèle dit aussi 'no. 220' 16cm (6 5/16 in). high by Auguste Rodin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 24,225.00 (€ 28,221.86), 21% 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
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Torse d'homme, petit modèle dit aussi 'no. 220' 16cm (6 5/16 in). high von Auguste Rodin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 24.225,00 (€ 28.221,86) und damit 21% 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).
