Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2015 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist and Modern Day Sale Including Property from the John C. Whitehead Collection, which included the work Skeleton Figure by Henry Moore. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,643.81), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Day Sale Including Property from the John C. Whitehead Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Skeleton Figure von Henry Moore zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.643,81) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. 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).
