Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Thomas Birch could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in June 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Picnic By The Lake changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,965.74) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Birch konnte im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wechselte die Arbeit Picnic By The Lake für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.965,74) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00. 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).
