A top price for Henry Moore, R.A. - as previously expected
In June last year Sothebys in London held the auction British Art: The Jubilee Auction, which included the work Family Group by Henry Moore, R.A.. The price achieved of GBP 315,000.00 (€ 365,940.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Family Group is the most expensive artwork by Henry Moore, R.A. that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion British Art: The Jubilee Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Family Group von Henry Moore, R.A. zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 315.000,00 (€ 365.940,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Family Group das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry Moore, R.A., das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
