Auction result well in line with expectations
The work As It Was Done Unto Him Who Here Lies Sleeping/So Let It Be Done Unto The Man Born To Be King of Your Heart' by Thomas Matthews Rooke was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 720.00 (€ 1,069.22) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit As It Was Done Unto Him Who Here Lies Sleeping/So Let It Be Done Unto The Man Born To Be King of Your Heart' von Thomas Matthews Rooke kam im November 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 720,00 (€ 1.069,22) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
