In May 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Danaïde, Petit Modèle, Version Type Iii by Auguste Rodin. The »bidding war« ended at USD 418,000.00 (€ 375,392.91), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Auguste Rodin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Éternel Printemps in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 20,410,000.00 (€ 18,329,591.38).

Im Mai 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Danaïde, Petit Modèle, Version Type Iii von Auguste Rodin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 418.000,00 (€ 375.392,91) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Auguste Rodin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Éternel Printemps im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.410.000,00 (€ 18.329.591,38).
