A top price for Edward Clark
When the work Scarlett Blue by Edward Clark was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 576,600.00 (€ 495,063.11). This high result makes Scarlett Blue the most expensive artwork by Edward Clark that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Edward Clark
Als die Arbeit Scarlett Blue von Edward Clark im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 576.600,00 (€ 495.063,11) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Scarlett Blue zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Edward Clark, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
