Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Australian Explorer Attacked By Parrots by Albert Tucker was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. The result of AUD 120,000.00 (€ 71,757.20) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of AUD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Albert Tucker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian intruder And Parrots, which sold at auction in August 2008 for AUD 456,000.00 (€ 266,189.11).
