Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work The interior of Exeter Cathedral by Thomas Girtin. The result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,731.36) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Girtin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Durham Cathedral And Castle in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit The interior of Exeter Cathedral von Thomas Girtin zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.731,36) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Girtin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Durham Cathedral And Castle im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 265.250,00 (€ 318.933,24).
