Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Yosemite by Thomas Hill was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 137,500.00 (€ 112,760.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Yosemite von Thomas Hill wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 137.500,00 (€ 112.760,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
