Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Selected studies, 1941-1947 by Clarence John Laughlin was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,635.40). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Clarence John Laughlin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 'The Final Act (Belle Grove Plantation)' sold at auction in October 2016 with the realized price of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,262.73).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Selected studies, 1941-1947 von Clarence John Laughlin im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.635,40) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Clarence John Laughlin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 'The Final Act (Belle Grove Plantation)' im Oktober 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.262,73).
