Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Valparaíso by Thomas Somerscales was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2020. The auction ended at the price of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 66,925.43), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Somerscales - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of The Port And Bay Of Valparaíso, Chile, which sold at auction in November 2008 for USD 254,500.00 (€ 200,488.42).

Die Arbeit Valparaíso von Thomas Somerscales kam im Juli 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 66.925,43) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Somerscales mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of The Port And Bay Of Valparaíso, Chile beobachtet, die im November 2008 für USD 254.500,00 (€ 200.488,42) versteigert wurde.
