A top price for Thomas Roberts
When the work The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground by Thomas Roberts was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 454,750.00 (€ 729,706.05). This high result makes The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground the most expensive artwork by Thomas Roberts that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Thomas Roberts
Als die Arbeit The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground von Thomas Roberts im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 454.750,00 (€ 729.706,05) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Thomas Roberts, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
