This artwork by Henry Moore achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2000. In the PRINTS BY HENRY MOORE-CSK auction, the work Reading Lesson sold for GBP 940.00 (€ 1,519.97) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Moore erzielte im Juli 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion PRINTS BY HENRY MOORE-CSK wurde die Arbeit Reading Lesson für GBP 940,00 (€ 1.519,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. 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).
