This artwork by Thomas Forster achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2000. In the Miniatures auction, the work James Denew, facing right in cloak and cravat, full bottomed wig sold for GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,393.80) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Forster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 65,000.00 (€ 76,822.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Forster erzielte im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Miniatures wurde die Arbeit James Denew, facing right in cloak and cravat, full bottomed wig für GBP 2.115,00 (€ 3.393,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Forster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.000,00 (€ 76.822,39).
