Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Thomas Birch could be acquired at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in August this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the August Americana | Bonhams Skinner auction, the work China Bound changed hands for USD 5,120.00 (€ 4,723.68) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Birch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Battery And Harbor, New York in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 482,500.00 (€ 346,648.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

In der Auktion August Americana | Bonhams Skinner wechselte die Arbeit China Bound für USD 5.120,00 (€ 4.723,68) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Birch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Battery And Harbor, New York im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 482.500,00 (€ 346.648,47).
