Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper, which included the work Artist's Hands Holding Bone (recto and verso) by Henry Moore. The auction ended at the price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 17,961.38), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Artist's Hands Holding Bone (recto and verso) von Henry Moore zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 17.961,38) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. 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).
