This artwork by Thomas Somerscales achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2006. In the Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) auction, the work A Brigantine Off What Is Thought To Be Tenerife sold for GBP 10,800.00 (€ 16,038.34) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Somerscales achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View Of The Port And Bay Of Valparaíso, Chile in November 2008 with an auction result of USD 254,500.00 (€ 200,488.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Somerscales erzielte im November 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) wurde die Arbeit A Brigantine Off What Is Thought To Be Tenerife für GBP 10.800,00 (€ 16.038,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Somerscales erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View Of The Port And Bay Of Valparaíso, Chile im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 254.500,00 (€ 200.488,42).
