Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Twelve unframed illustrations of characters in Dickens' novels (one illustrated) by Joseph Clayton Clarke was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 400.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 187.50 (€ 269.26). 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
Als die Arbeit Twelve unframed illustrations of characters in Dickens' novels (one illustrated) von Joseph Clayton Clarke im Oktober 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 400,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 187,50 (€ 269,26) den Besitzer. 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.
