Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Working Model For Locking Piece by Henry Moore. The price achieved of USD 1,095,000.00 (€ 982,150.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. 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 Mai 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Working Model For Locking Piece von Henry Moore zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.095.000,00 (€ 982.150,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 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).
