Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In August 2021 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction California Art, which included the work The Muir Glacier (Alaska) by Thomas Hill. The »bidding war« ended at USD 60,312.50 (€ 51,112.29), 21% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Hill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hudson River Valley from the Catskill Mountain House in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 372,500.00 (€ 328,976.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im August 2021 führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion California Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Muir Glacier (Alaska) von Thomas Hill zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 60.312,50 (€ 51.112,29) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Hill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hudson River Valley from the Catskill Mountain House im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 372.500,00 (€ 328.976,42).
