Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Hunters With A Dog In A Landscape by Thomas Doughty was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 161,000.00 (€ 118,434.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Doughty - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn Landscape, which sold at auction in November 2001 for USD 292,000.00 (€ 325,965.62).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Hunters With A Dog In A Landscape von Thomas Doughty im Oktober 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 161.000,00 (€ 118.434,60) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Doughty mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Autumn Landscape beobachtet, die im November 2001 für USD 292.000,00 (€ 325.965,62) versteigert wurde.
