Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An American Merchantman Backing Her Sails As She Heaves-to Off A Rocky Shore by Thomas Birch was sold in the From Peale to Peto: American Masters from the Pollack Collection auction at Christies in New York in January this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 30,240.00 (€ 27,850.43) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Birch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Battery And Harbor, New York in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 482,500.00 (€ 346,648.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit An American Merchantman Backing Her Sails As She Heaves-to Off A Rocky Shore von Thomas Birch wurde im Januar diesen Jahres in der Auktion From Peale to Peto: American Masters from the Pollack Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 30.240,00 (€ 27.850,43) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Birch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Battery And Harbor, New York im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 482.500,00 (€ 346.648,47).
