Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Reading The Gazette by Thomas Waterman Wood was worth USD 18,750.00 (€ 12,650.97) to a buyer in April 2011. This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 4,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Waterman Wood achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arguing the Question in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 180,000.00 (€ 133,799.15).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Reading The Gazette von Thomas Waterman Wood war einem Käufer im April 2011 USD 18.750,00 (€ 12.650,97) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion American Paintings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 4.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Waterman Wood erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arguing the Question im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 180.000,00 (€ 133.799,15).
