Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bluebeard Marries by Charles Hunt Sr. was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 60,480.00 (€ 56,360.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Hunt Sr. - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British bluebeard Marries And Bluebeard Foiled, which sold at auction in May 2017 for USD 137,500.00 (€ 122,374.51).
