Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work James Range, East Of Areyonga by Albert Namatjira was sold in the Aboriginal Art auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in July 2009. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 35,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 38,400.00 (€ 21,740.62). 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).
