Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2020 Christies in London held the auction The Joe Setton Collection: from Pre-Raphaelites to Last Romantics, which included the work Venus by Thomas Matthews Rooke. The price achieved of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,945.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Matthews Rooke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Clytie Turning Towards The Sun, which sold at auction in December 2006 for GBP 45,600.00 (€ 67,676.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Joe Setton Collection: from Pre-Raphaelites to Last Romantics durch, in der auch die Arbeit Venus von Thomas Matthews Rooke zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 20.945,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Matthews Rooke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Clytie Turning Towards The Sun beobachtet, die im Dezember 2006 für GBP 45.600,00 (€ 67.676,11) versteigert wurde.
