The work Fort And Block House, Simonstown (Recto) And Simonstown (Verso): And Near The Fort And Block House, Simonstown by Thomas William Bowler was sold in the Travel and Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2004. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,673.00 (€ 1,503.07), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas William Bowler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lion'S Head And Sea Point From Green Point, Cape Of Good Hope in November 2020 with an auction result of GBP 81,250.00 (€ 90,702.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Fort And Block House, Simonstown (Recto) And Simonstown (Verso): And Near The Fort And Block House, Simonstown von Thomas William Bowler wurde im April 2004 in der Auktion Travel and Natural History bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.673,00 (€ 1.503,07) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas William Bowler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lion'S Head And Sea Point From Green Point, Cape Of Good Hope im November 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 81.250,00 (€ 90.702,42).
