Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Camille Claudel achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Modern Day Auction auction, the work L'Implorante, petit modèle sold for USD 453,600.00 (€ 422,700.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Camille Claudel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Valse, Première Version in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 5,122,500.00 (€ 5,978,874.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Camille Claudel erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Day Auction wurde die Arbeit L'Implorante, petit modèle für USD 453.600,00 (€ 422.700,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Camille Claudel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Valse, Première Version im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.122.500,00 (€ 5.978.874,90).
