Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Paddling, Whitsand Bay by Thomas Cooper Gotch was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,217.74). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Cooper Gotch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Dawn of Womanhood in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 126,137.24).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Paddling, Whitsand Bay von Thomas Cooper Gotch im Mai 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.217,74) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Cooper Gotch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Dawn of Womanhood im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 126.137,24).
