Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Disc with Strings (Sun) by Barbara Hepworth was auctioned at Christies in Sydney in November this year. It achieved a price of USD 226,800.00 (€ 207,920.79), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barbara Hepworth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Family of Man: Ancestor II in November this year with an auction result of USD 11,565,000.00 (€ 10,602,310.23).

Die Arbeit Disc with Strings (Sun) von Barbara Hepworth kam im November diesen Jahres bei Christies in Sydney zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 226.800,00 (€ 207.920,79) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barbara Hepworth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Family of Man: Ancestor II im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.565.000,00 (€ 10.602.310,23).
