Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Demeter by Jean (Hans) Arp was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2008. It achieved a price of USD 797,000.00 (€ 512,210.80), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean (Hans) Arp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Déméter in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,825,000.00 (€ 5,144,396.36).

Die Arbeit Demeter von Jean (Hans) Arp wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 797.000,00 (€ 512.210,80) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean (Hans) Arp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Déméter im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.825.000,00 (€ 5.144.396,36).
