A top price for Albert Tucker - as previously expected
The work Australian intruder And Parrots by Albert Tucker was sold in the Important Australian Art auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2008. The price achieved of AUD 456,000.00 (€ 266,189.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Australian intruder And Parrots is the most expensive artwork by Albert Tucker that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Australian intruder And Parrots von Albert Tucker wurde im August 2008 in der Auktion Important Australian Art bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 456.000,00 (€ 266.189,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Australian intruder And Parrots das teuerste Kunstwerk von Albert Tucker, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
