Despite a disappointment, a good price for Thomas Brooks
When the work Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) by Thomas Brooks was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 79,000.00 (€ 50,745.12). Despite this disappointing result, Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Brooks that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Thomas Brooks
Als die Arbeit Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) von Thomas Brooks im April 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 79.000,00 (€ 50.745,12) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Thomas Brooks, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
