Dr. Dain L. Tasker
1872-1964
SELECTED X-RAYS OF FLOWERS
2 photographs, comprising 'X-Ray of Bearded Iris' and 'X-Ray of Mistletoe,' each mounted to Cadet illustration board, signed, titled, and inscribed 'To Lee and Gertrude from Cousin Dain' in ink on the mount, partially overmatted, framed, 1930s (Tasker, unpaginated)
Each no larger than 10 1/4  by 8 in. (26 by 20.3 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Selected X-Rays Of Flowers by Dr. Dain L. Tasker was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,309.21). Admittedly, works by Dr. Dain L. Tasker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tulips; Lily; and Strelitzia (Bird of Pardise) 3 in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,473.70).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Selected X-Rays Of Flowers von Dr. Dain L. Tasker im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.309,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Dr. Dain L. Tasker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tulips; Lily; and Strelitzia (Bird of Pardise) 3 im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 26.473,70).
