Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Brett Whiteley could be acquired at Christies in London in March last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale auction, the work Sketch for Large Monkey Drawing changed hands for GBP 24,000.00 (€ 28,454.70) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Brett Whiteley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Opera House in May 2007 with an auction result of AUD 2,880,000.00 (€ 1,770,858.54).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Brett Whiteley konnte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit Sketch for Large Monkey Drawing für GBP 24.000,00 (€ 28.454,70) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Brett Whiteley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian Opera House im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 2.880.000,00 (€ 1.770.858,54).
