A top price for Thomas Yates
When the work Two Deckers of the Red Squadron preparing to anchor at Gibraltar whilst waiting for a pilot; and The morning gun, the Straits of Dover by Thomas Yates was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 15,625.00 (€ 18,677.27). This high result makes Two Deckers of the Red Squadron preparing to anchor at Gibraltar whilst waiting for a pilot; and The morning gun, the Straits of Dover the most expensive artwork by Thomas Yates that we have observed at auctions so far.
