Auction result well in line with expectations
In March this year Christies in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work Maquette for Figure on Steps by Henry Moore. It changed hands for a price of GBP 239,400.00 (€ 272,363.74) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 180,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Moore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reclining Figure: Festival in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 24,722,500.00 (€ 29,675,067.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Maquette for Figure on Steps von Henry Moore zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 239.400,00 (€ 272.363,74) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 180.000,00 – 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Moore erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reclining Figure: Festival im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.722.500,00 (€ 29.675.067,53).
