Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Menantic Mantra by David Rankin was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in May 2004. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 8,962.50 (€ 5,236.50). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Rankin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ridge-Mungo, which sold at auction in August 2003 for AUD 23,500.00 (€ 13,882.67).
