Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2019 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Picnic by the Sea by Thomas Hill. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 125,000.00 (€ 113,440.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Hill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hudson River Valley from the Catskill Mountain House, which sold at auction in November 2018 for USD 372,500.00 (€ 328,976.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Picnic by the Sea von Thomas Hill zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 113.440,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hudson River Valley from the Catskill Mountain House beobachtet, die im November 2018 für USD 372.500,00 (€ 328.976,42) versteigert wurde.
