Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Reclining Figure: Open Pose by Henry Moore was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,328,750.00 (€ 1,498,789.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Moore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reclining Figure: Festival in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 24,722,500.00 (€ 29,675,067.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Reclining Figure: Open Pose von Henry Moore kam im November 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.328.750,00 (€ 1.498.789,63) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Moore erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reclining Figure: Festival im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.722.500,00 (€ 29.675.067,53).
