Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Ruined Hindu Temple On A Rocky Outcrop Overlooking A Valley, India by Thomas Daniell was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2020. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 69,771.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Daniell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The entrance of an excavated Hindu cave temple at Mahabalipuram on the Coromandel Coast in January this year with an auction result of USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 986,369.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Ruined Hindu Temple On A Rocky Outcrop Overlooking A Valley, India von Thomas Daniell kam im November 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 69.771,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Daniell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The entrance of an excavated Hindu cave temple at Mahabalipuram on the Coromandel Coast im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.071.000,00 (€ 986.369,50).
