A top price for Thomas Abercrombie Trant - as previously expected
The work Church At St Joseph'S, Trinidad; St Joseph'S; And Pandemonium. My House In Port Of Spain by Thomas Abercrombie Trant was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2020. The price achieved of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,302.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Church At St Joseph'S, Trinidad; St Joseph'S; And Pandemonium. My House In Port Of Spain is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Abercrombie Trant that we have observed at auctions so far.
