Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Henry Moore achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2014. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Maquette For Sculpture With Hole And Light sold for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 41,838.28) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Moore erzielte im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Maquette For Sculpture With Hole And Light für GBP 32.500,00 (€ 41.838,28) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. 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).
