The work Australian The Game by David Boyd was sold in the Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 18,000.00 (€ 10,763.58), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by David Boyd have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Monoliths, 1962 in May last year with an auction result of AUD 51,045.00 (€ 47,567.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
