Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work 'Mephisto' by Harry Clarke was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in December 2010. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,089.98). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harry Clarke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mother of Sorrows, Memorial to Sister Superior Mary of Saint Wilfrid, Principal of Dowanhill Training College, Glasgow, 1926 in May 2002 with an auction result of GBP 65,725.00 (€ 102,926.24).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit 'Mephisto' von Harry Clarke wurde im Dezember 2010 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.089,98) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harry Clarke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mother of Sorrows, Memorial to Sister Superior Mary of Saint Wilfrid, Principal of Dowanhill Training College, Glasgow, 1926 im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.725,00 (€ 102.926,24).
