Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Helmet Head No. 1 by Henry Moore was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. It achieved a price of USD 185,000.00 (€ 175,156.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 23%. 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 Helmet Head No. 1 von Henry Moore kam im November 2015 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 185.000,00 (€ 175.156,22) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 23%. 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).
