A top price for James Hardy Jr.

When the work The Midday Rest by James Hardy Jr. was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,114.83). This high result makes The Midday Rest the most expensive artwork by James Hardy Jr. that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für James Hardy Jr.

Als die Arbeit The Midday Rest von James Hardy Jr. im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.114,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Midday Rest zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von James Hardy Jr., das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
