Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Rape Seed Field by Dorothy Elsie Knowles was sold in the Important Canadian Art auction at Sothebys in Toronto in December 2009. It changed hands for a price of CAD 11,400.00 (€ 7,603.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of CAD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dorothy Elsie Knowles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Low Banks, which sold at auction in June 2010 for CAD 30,000.00 (€ 23,011.96).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Rape Seed Field von Dorothy Elsie Knowles wurde im Dezember 2009 in der Auktion Important Canadian Art bei Sothebys in Toronto versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von CAD 11.400,00 (€ 7.603,45) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von CAD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Dorothy Elsie Knowles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Low Banks beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für CAD 30.000,00 (€ 23.011,96) versteigert wurde.
