Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Garlec Arkham by Graham Clarke was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 351.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Graham Clarke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A collection of four woodcuts in colours comprising Hay Field Timberden, Timberden, Lane to Filsdon and Hill at Woodlands (illustrated), on wove paper, each signed, titled and inscribed (proof) in pencil, with margins, apparently in good condition, unexam, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,307.9
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Garlec Arkham von Graham Clarke im Januar 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 351,77) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Graham Clarke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A collection of four woodcuts in colours comprising Hay Field Timberden, Timberden, Lane to Filsdon and Hill at Woodlands (illustrated), on wove paper, each signed, titled and inscribed (proof) in pencil, with margins, apparently in good condition, unexam beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.307,96) versteigert wurde.
