Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sailing off the Coast by Thomas Birch was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2003. The price achieved of USD 13,145.00 (€ 10,678.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sailing off the Coast von Thomas Birch kam im Juli 2003 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 13.145,00 (€ 10.678,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
