Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Elephant Skull Album by Henry Moore was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2014. It achieved a price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,723.99), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Elephant Skull Album von Henry Moore kam im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.723,99) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. 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).
