CHARLES CLIFFORD
Oviedo
Lightly-coated albumen print from paper negative. Circa 1860. Titled in pencil on mount; numbered A 14 in pencil on reverse of mount. Rounded corners.
17 x 12 7/8in. (43.3 x 33cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Oviedo by Charles Clifford was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,170.00 (€ 9,989.61). Admittedly, works by Charles Clifford have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sevilla, El Alcazar in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 52,500.00 (€ 46,328.98).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Oviedo von Charles Clifford im Mai 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.170,00 (€ 9.989,61) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Clifford auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sevilla, El Alcazar im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 46.328,98).
