Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Adam and Eve by David Edgar Strachan. The price achieved of AUD 9,400.00 (€ 5,553.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Edgar Strachan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life with Oranges, which sold at auction in August 2001 for AUD 30,550.00 (€ 17,735.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Adam and Eve von David Edgar Strachan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 9.400,00 (€ 5.553,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von David Edgar Strachan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life with Oranges beobachtet, die im August 2001 für AUD 30.550,00 (€ 17.735,13) versteigert wurde.
