Despite a disappointment, a good price for Jacob Thompson
When the work The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth by Jacob Thompson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,647.47). Despite this disappointing result, The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth is the most expensive artwork by Jacob Thompson that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Jacob Thompson
Als die Arbeit The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth von Jacob Thompson im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.647,47) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jacob Thompson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
