In May 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Centennial Park Sunset by Bryan Westwood. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 17,400.00 (€ 9,845.55), 45% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bryan Westwood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Five Jockeys In A Row (Silks From Cummings, Green And Begg Stables, Sydney), which sold at auction in May 2007 for AUD 48,000.00 (€ 29,514.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 45 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Centennial Park Sunset von Bryan Westwood zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 17.400,00 (€ 9.845,55) und damit 45% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Bryan Westwood mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian Five Jockeys In A Row (Silks From Cummings, Green And Begg Stables, Sydney) beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für AUD 48.000,00 (€ 29.514,31) versteigert wurde.
