Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Thomas Somerscales achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2006. In the Travel and Natural History auction, the work An ox drover and cart on a track in the foot hills of the Andes, Chile sold for GBP 6,480.00 (€ 9,681.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Somerscales erzielte im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Travel and Natural History wurde die Arbeit An ox drover and cart on a track in the foot hills of the Andes, Chile für GBP 6.480,00 (€ 9.681,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. 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).
