A top price for Howard Chandler Christy - as previously expected

The work Nudes At The Beach by Howard Chandler Christy was sold in the Erotic: Passion & Desire auction at Sothebys in London in February 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 87,777.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Nudes At The Beach is the most expensive artwork by Howard Chandler Christy that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Nudes At The Beach von Howard Chandler Christy wurde im Februar 2017 in der Auktion Erotic: Passion & Desire bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 87.777,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Nudes At The Beach das teuerste Kunstwerk von Howard Chandler Christy, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
