A top price for Clyde Singer
When the work The Rush Hour by Clyde Singer was auctioned at Bonhams in Paris in May this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 216,400.00 (€ 203,116.20). This high result makes The Rush Hour the most expensive artwork by Clyde Singer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Clyde Singer
Als die Arbeit The Rush Hour von Clyde Singer im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Paris versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 216.400,00 (€ 203.116,20) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Rush Hour zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Clyde Singer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
