Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work Reclining Figure by Henry Moore was sold in the Rembrandt to Richter auction at Sothebys in London in July 2020. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 423,000.00 (€ 471,824.27), 41% 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).
