Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Henry Moore achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2015. In the Impressionist and Modern Day Sale auction, the work Stringed Figure sold for USD 377,000.00 (€ 356,939.97) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Moore erzielte im November 2015 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Stringed Figure für USD 377.000,00 (€ 356.939,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. 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).
