Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.

The work Verso L'infinito (Towards Infinity) by Giovanni Anselmo was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2011. It achieved a price of USD 230,500.00 (€ 171,337.25), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Anselmo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Torsione in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 6,437,000.00 (€ 5,855,011.82).

Die Arbeit Verso L'infinito (Towards Infinity) von Giovanni Anselmo kam im November 2011 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 230.500,00 (€ 171.337,25) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Torsione im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.437.000,00 (€ 5.855.011,82).
