Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Amazon Entering The Harbour Of St Lucia; The Amazon In A Hurricane; The Amazon Shipwrecked by John Thomas Serres was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 34,100.00 (€ 47,748.82) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Thomas Serres - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern, which sold at auction in February 2005 for GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,810.76).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Amazon Entering The Harbour Of St Lucia; The Amazon In A Hurricane; The Amazon Shipwrecked von John Thomas Serres kam im November 2007 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 34.100,00 (€ 47.748,82) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Thomas Serres mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern beobachtet, die im Februar 2005 für GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.810,76) versteigert wurde.
