Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Danseuse regardant la plante de son pied droit by Edgar Degas was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2017. It changed hands for a price of USD 583,500.00 (€ 519,312.92) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edgar Degas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Petite danseuse de quatorze ans in May last year with an auction result of USD 41,610,000.00 (€ 38,775,510.20).
