Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The man in the grey flanel suit by Charles Burki was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in January 2002. The price achieved of EUR 705.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Burki - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A futuristic car design, which sold at auction in January 2002 for EUR 1,527.50.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The man in the grey flanel suit von Charles Burki kam im Januar 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 705,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Burki mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A futuristic car design beobachtet, die im Januar 2002 für EUR 1.527,50 versteigert wurde.
