Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A Gentleman, wearing a blue jacket with fair hair, initialled lower right, the reverse with hair decoration, under glass, gold and enamel frame, oval by John Thomas Barber Beaumont was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in March 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at AUD 7,637.50 (€ 4,239.10). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Thomas Barber Beaumont; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Unknown sold at auction in June 2010 with the realized price of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,840.52).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Gentleman, wearing a blue jacket with fair hair, initialled lower right, the reverse with hair decoration, under glass, gold and enamel frame, oval von John Thomas Barber Beaumont im März 2001 bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 7.637,50 (€ 4.239,10) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von John Thomas Barber Beaumont; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Unknown im Juni 2010 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.840,52).
