Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Selected Images Of Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow And Clark Gable, Circa 1940 by Clarence Sinclair Bull was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,792.50 (€ 907.59). Admittedly, works by Clarence Sinclair Bull have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Greta Garbo, publicity portrait for “Anna Christie” (dir. Jacques Feyder), 1930 in November this year with an auction result of EUR 4,410.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Selected Images Of Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow And Clark Gable, Circa 1940 von Clarence Sinclair Bull im April 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.792,50 (€ 907,59) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Clarence Sinclair Bull auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Greta Garbo, publicity portrait for “Anna Christie” (dir. Jacques Feyder), 1930 im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 4.410,00.
