Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Reclining Connected Forms by Henry Moore was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,560,000.00 (€ 3,169,797.88). Admittedly, works by Henry Moore have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Reclining Figure: Festival in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 24,722,500.00 (€ 29,675,067.53).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Reclining Connected Forms von Henry Moore im Juni 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000.000,00 – 6.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.560.000,00 (€ 3.169.797,88) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Moore auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Reclining Figure: Festival im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.722.500,00 (€ 29.675.067,53).
