Auction result misses estimated price range
In March last year a collector was able to acquire the work Three views of Margate, Kent: Margate jetty from Hodge's Flagstaff; Margate pier and jetty from the fort; and Margate pier and jetty from the infirmary by Thomas Matthews Rooke for GBP 378.00 (€ 448.16). This price was achieved in the auction Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Matthews Rooke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Clytie Turning Towards The Sun in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 45,600.00 (€ 67,676.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Three views of Margate, Kent: Margate jetty from Hodge's Flagstaff; Margate pier and jetty from the fort; and Margate pier and jetty from the infirmary von Thomas Matthews Rooke für GBP 378,00 (€ 448,16) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Matthews Rooke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Clytie Turning Towards The Sun im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.600,00 (€ 67.676,11).
