In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction The Irish Sale, which included the work Portrait of Robert Mack, three-quarter-length, in a fur-trimmed green coat, holding architectural plans, with a landscape beyond by John Trotter. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 24,500.00 (€ 31,165.07), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Trotter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot, which sold at auction in December 2008 for GBP 85,250.00 (€ 89,537.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Irish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Robert Mack, three-quarter-length, in a fur-trimmed green coat, holding architectural plans, with a landscape beyond von John Trotter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 24.500,00 (€ 31.165,07) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Trotter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für GBP 85.250,00 (€ 89.537,31) versteigert wurde.
