Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Maquette For Oval With Points by Henry Moore was sold in the Modern & Post-War British Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 47,880.00 (€ 53,450.24) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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).
