A top price for Thomas Elliott
When the work A panorama of Portsmouth harbour, with a flagship of the Red Squadron making sail as she departs by Thomas Elliott was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 97,090.00 (€ 145,670.76). This high result makes A panorama of Portsmouth harbour, with a flagship of the Red Squadron making sail as she departs the most expensive artwork by Thomas Elliott that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Thomas Elliott
Als die Arbeit A panorama of Portsmouth harbour, with a flagship of the Red Squadron making sail as she departs von Thomas Elliott im Mai 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 97.090,00 (€ 145.670,76) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A panorama of Portsmouth harbour, with a flagship of the Red Squadron making sail as she departs zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Thomas Elliott, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
