Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Head by Henry Moore was sold in the Impressionst and Modern Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2001. The price achieved of USD 23,500.00 (€ 27,794.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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 Head von Henry Moore wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion Impressionst and Modern Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 23.500,00 (€ 27.794,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
