A top price for Clara Weaver Parrish
When the work The Letter by Clara Weaver Parrish was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,427.59). This high result makes The Letter the most expensive artwork by Clara Weaver Parrish that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Clara Weaver Parrish
Als die Arbeit The Letter von Clara Weaver Parrish im Mai 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.427,59) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Letter zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Clara Weaver Parrish, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
