Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Reclining Figure by Henry Moore was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2009. The »bidding war« ended at USD 122,500.00 (€ 86,719.52), 36% above the upper 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 122.500,00 (€ 86.719,52) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.
