Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Joseph Clayton Clarke could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work A leisure game of chess changed hands for USD 562.50 (€ 444.24) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph Clayton Clarke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 7 Plates, from Some Well Known Characters from the Works of Charles Dickens, c. 1890, which sold at auction in February this year for USD 1,020.00 (€ 962.08).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Clayton Clarke konnte im Februar 2009 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit A leisure game of chess für USD 562,50 (€ 444,24) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Joseph Clayton Clarke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 7 Plates, from Some Well Known Characters from the Works of Charles Dickens, c. 1890 beobachtet, die im Februar diesen Jahres für USD 1.020,00 (€ 962,08) versteigert wurde.
