In August 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Ridge - Longshelf by David Rankin. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 11,750.00 (€ 6,941.33), 47% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im August 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ridge - Longshelf von David Rankin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 11.750,00 (€ 6.941,33) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von David Rankin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ridge-Mungo beobachtet, die im August 2003 für AUD 23.500,00 (€ 13.882,67) versteigert wurde.
