Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price

When the work A covey of red grouse in flight over moorland by Claire Harkess was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,253.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Claire Harkess - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three studies of pheasant in flight, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,913.76).

Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A covey of red grouse in flight over moorland von Claire Harkess im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.253,54) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Claire Harkess mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Three studies of pheasant in flight beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.913,76) versteigert wurde.
