Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian river Gum And Mount Gillen by Albert Namatjira was sold in the Important Australian Art auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2008. The price achieved of AUD 30,000.00 (€ 17,512.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Albert Namatjira - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mt Sonder, MacDonnell Ranges, which sold at auction in April this year for AUD 92,250.00 (€ 55,291.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Australian river Gum And Mount Gillen von Albert Namatjira wurde im August 2008 in der Auktion Important Australian Art bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 30.000,00 (€ 17.512,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Albert Namatjira mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mt Sonder, MacDonnell Ranges beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für AUD 92.250,00 (€ 55.291,51) versteigert wurde.
