A top price for Clarence H. White - as previously expected

In April 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Telegraph Poles by Clarence H. White. The price achieved of USD 103,000.00 (€ 66,161.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Telegraph Poles is the most expensive artwork by Clarence H. White that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Telegraph Poles von Clarence H. White zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 103.000,00 (€ 66.161,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Telegraph Poles das teuerste Kunstwerk von Clarence H. White, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
