Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.
The work Sleeping Muse by Constantin Brancusi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2020. It achieved a price of USD 100,000.00 (€ 90,670.05), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 43%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Constantin Brancusi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La jeune fille sophistiquée (Portrait de Nancy Cunard) in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 71,187,500.00 (€ 61,000,428.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sleeping Muse von Constantin Brancusi kam im März 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 100.000,00 (€ 90.670,05) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 43%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Constantin Brancusi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La jeune fille sophistiquée (Portrait de Nancy Cunard) im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 71.187.500,00 (€ 61.000.428,45).
