Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Danseuse Arabesque Ouverte Sur La Jambe Droite, Le Bras Gauche En Avant by Edgar Degas was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2013. It achieved a price of GBP 181,250.00 (€ 210,532.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 21%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edgar Degas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Petite danseuse de quatorze ans in May last year with an auction result of USD 41,610,000.00 (€ 38,775,510.20).

Die Arbeit Danseuse Arabesque Ouverte Sur La Jambe Droite, Le Bras Gauche En Avant von Edgar Degas kam im Februar 2013 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 181.250,00 (€ 210.532,15) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 21%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edgar Degas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Petite danseuse de quatorze ans im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 41.610.000,00 (€ 38.775.510,20).
