The work Lampe à quatre feuilles by Diego Giacometti was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in November 2019. The »bidding war« ended at USD 87,500.00 (€ 79,408.29), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Diego Giacometti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La console 'Hommage à Böcklin' in October this year with an auction result of GBP 5,122,000.00 (€ 5,881,478.99).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 79.408,29) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Diego Giacometti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La console 'Hommage à Böcklin' im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.122.000,00 (€ 5.881.478,99).
