A top price for Cressida Campbell
When the work From the Balcony (Triptych) by Cressida Campbell was auctioned at Christies in Sydney in August 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at AUD 47,000.00 (€ 27,765.34). This high result makes From the Balcony (Triptych) the most expensive artwork by Cressida Campbell that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Cressida Campbell
Als die Arbeit From the Balcony (Triptych) von Cressida Campbell im August 2003 bei Christies in Sydney versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 47.000,00 (€ 27.765,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht From the Balcony (Triptych) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Cressida Campbell, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
