A top price for Thomas Girtin - as previously expected
The work Durham Cathedral And Castle by Thomas Girtin was sold in the An Exceptional Eye: A Private British Collection auction at Sothebys in London in July 2010. The price achieved of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Durham Cathedral And Castle is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Girtin that we have observed at auctions so far.
