Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Reclining Figure No. 1 by Henry Moore, R.A. was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June last year. The price achieved of GBP 119,700.00 (€ 139,057.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Moore, R.A. - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Family Group, which sold at auction in June last year for GBP 315,000.00 (€ 365,940.40).
