Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Harvesters: Setting up Sheaves by George Clausen was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 350,000.00 (€ 300,506.57) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Clausen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gleaners, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 710,850.00 (€ 1,022,553.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Harvesters: Setting up Sheaves von George Clausen kam im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 350.000,00 (€ 300.506,57) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Clausen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gleaners beobachtet, die im November 2004 für GBP 710.850,00 (€ 1.022.553,89) versteigert wurde.
