Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction The European Art Sale, which included the work The Sanctuary by Thomas Blinks. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 30,240.00 (€ 26,177.29) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Blinks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Waiting For The Guns in June 2007 with an auction result of USD 564,000.00 (€ 417,159.76).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The European Art Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Sanctuary von Thomas Blinks zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 30.240,00 (€ 26.177,29) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Blinks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Waiting For The Guns im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 564.000,00 (€ 417.159,76).
