A top price for John Hall Thorpe

When the work Flowers And Fruit by John Hall Thorpe was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,151.49). This high result makes Flowers And Fruit the most expensive artwork by John Hall Thorpe that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für John Hall Thorpe

Als die Arbeit Flowers And Fruit von John Hall Thorpe im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.151,49) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Flowers And Fruit zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Hall Thorpe, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
