Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime including Scientific & Medical Instruments, which included the work Penduik by Tim Thompson. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,600.00 (€ 2,712.07), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tim Thompson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work J-class yachts racing in light airs off the Brenton lightship, which sold at auction in February 2004 for USD 7,767.50 (€ 6,243.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime including Scientific & Medical Instruments durch, in der auch die Arbeit Penduik von Tim Thompson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.600,00 (€ 2.712,07) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Tim Thompson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit J-class yachts racing in light airs off the Brenton lightship beobachtet, die im Februar 2004 für USD 7.767,50 (€ 6.243,47) versteigert wurde.
