Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Henry Moore achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2012. In the Prints & Multiples Including an Important Collection by Henry Moore auction, the work Rhinoceros, from Animals in the Zoo (C. 633) sold for GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,509.65) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Moore erzielte im September 2012 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples Including an Important Collection by Henry Moore wurde die Arbeit Rhinoceros, from Animals in the Zoo (C. 633) für GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.509,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. 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).
