This artwork by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. In the American Art auction, the work The Surprise sold for USD 21,250.00 (€ 18,752.21) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Check--Keep Your Distance in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,841,000.00 (€ 1,934,232.03).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait erzielte im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit The Surprise für USD 21.250,00 (€ 18.752,21) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Check--Keep Your Distance im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.841.000,00 (€ 1.934.232,03).
