Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A patinated bust of a gentleman, possibly Sir Henry Harban (British, 1823-1911) by Thomas Brock was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 400.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 255.00 (€ 294.09). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Brock achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Eve in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 66,974.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A patinated bust of a gentleman, possibly Sir Henry Harban (British, 1823-1911) von Thomas Brock im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 255,00 (€ 294,09) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Brock erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Eve im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 47.500,00 (€ 66.974,40).
