Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Seated Figure by Henry Moore. The price achieved of GBP 713,250.00 (€ 828,480.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. 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
Im Februar 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seated Figure von Henry Moore zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 713.250,00 (€ 828.480,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 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).
