Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Christies in London held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work L’Atleta by Umberto Boccioni. It changed hands for a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,469.49) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Umberto Boccioni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio (Unique Forms of Continuity in Space) in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 16,165,000.00 (€ 14,670,115.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit L’Atleta von Umberto Boccioni zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.469,49) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Umberto Boccioni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio (Unique Forms of Continuity in Space) im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.165.000,00 (€ 14.670.115,26).
