Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price
When the work View of Her Majesty's Ship Sovereign by Thomas Baston was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,525.98). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Thomas Baston; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot His Majesty's Yacht William & Mary sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,678.23).
Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View of Her Majesty's Ship Sovereign von Thomas Baston im März 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.525,98) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Thomas Baston; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit His Majesty's Yacht William & Mary im Mai 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.678,23).
