Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work View of Liverpool from the Rock Perch; View of Liverpool from the Powder Magazines; View of Liverpool from the Fort; and View of Liverpool from the Wood Side by John Thomas Serres for GBP 625.00 (€ 722.88). This price was achieved in the auction Lehman Brothers: Artwork and Ephemera at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Thomas Serres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern in February 2005 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,810.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit View of Liverpool from the Rock Perch; View of Liverpool from the Powder Magazines; View of Liverpool from the Fort; and View of Liverpool from the Wood Side von John Thomas Serres für GBP 625,00 (€ 722,88) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Lehman Brothers: Artwork and Ephemera bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Thomas Serres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern im Februar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.810,76).
