Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Clarence John Laughlin could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2015 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20/21 Photographs/ Leaves of Light and Shadow: Photographs Gathered by William T. Hillman auction, the work Untitled, 1940s changed hands for USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,327.53) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Clarence John Laughlin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'The Final Act (Belle Grove Plantation)' in October 2016 with an auction result of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,262.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Clarence John Laughlin konnte im März 2015 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20/21 Photographs/ Leaves of Light and Shadow: Photographs Gathered by William T. Hillman wechselte die Arbeit Untitled, 1940s für USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.327,53) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Clarence John Laughlin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'The Final Act (Belle Grove Plantation)' im Oktober 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.262,73).
