Auction result well in line with expectations
The work For'ard on, for'ard on by Thomas Blinks was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art auction at Christies in London in July 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 74,500.00 (€ 88,522.12) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Blinks have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Waiting For The Guns in June 2007 with an auction result of USD 564,000.00 (€ 417,159.76).

Die Arbeit For'ard on, for'ard on von Thomas Blinks wurde im Juli 2016 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 74.500,00 (€ 88.522,12) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Blinks auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Waiting For The Guns im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 564.000,00 (€ 417.159,76).
