Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Death Shot by Thomas Baines was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 23,900.00 (€ 24,073.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Baines achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Eastern Cataracts of the Victoria Falls in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 574,750.00 (€ 675,183.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Death Shot von Thomas Baines wurde im September 2003 in der Auktion Exploration and Travel bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.900,00 (€ 24.073,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Baines erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Eastern Cataracts of the Victoria Falls im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 574.750,00 (€ 675.183,19).
