Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection, which included the work A Distant View Of Whitby, Yorkshire by Thomas Girtin. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 81,250.00 (€ 96,542.58). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Girtin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Durham Cathedral And Castle, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Distant View Of Whitby, Yorkshire von Thomas Girtin zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 81.250,00 (€ 96.542,58) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Girtin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Durham Cathedral And Castle beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 265.250,00 (€ 318.933,24) versteigert wurde.
