The work Oblique Forms, from: Twelve Lithographs by Barbara Hepworth was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in September this year. It achieved a price of GBP 4,410.00 (€ 4,410.00), 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).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.410,00 (€ 4.410,00) 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.
