Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In October 2010 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A frigate and other shipping in the entrance to Calais harbour by Thomas Bush Hardy. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 812.50 (€ 936.83), 63% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Bush Hardy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Margate Harbor in July 2002 with an auction result of USD 28,680.00 (€ 29,277.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A frigate and other shipping in the entrance to Calais harbour von Thomas Bush Hardy zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 812,50 (€ 936,83) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Bush Hardy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Margate Harbor im Juli 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 28.680,00 (€ 29.277,26).
