Sold at the lower estimate price
The work U.S. Frigate President by Thomas Birch was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2011. The result of USD 20,000.00 (€ 13,494.37) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit U.S. Frigate President von Thomas Birch kam im April 2011 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 13.494,37) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. 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).
