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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Bluebeard Marries von Charles Hunt Sr. kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 60.480,00 (€ 56.360,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Hunt Sr. mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit British bluebeard Marries And Bluebeard Foiled beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für USD 137.500,00 (€ 122.374,51) versteigert wurde.
