Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2002 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN & INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS, which included the work The Surf by Benjamin Edward Minns. The price achieved of AUD 2,350.00 (€ 1,316.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benjamin Edward Minns - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Negotiating the Pond, which sold at auction in April 2003 for AUD 8,225.00 (€ 4,194.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2002 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN & INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Surf von Benjamin Edward Minns zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 2.350,00 (€ 1.316,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Benjamin Edward Minns mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Negotiating the Pond beobachtet, die im April 2003 für AUD 8.225,00 (€ 4.194,21) versteigert wurde.
