A top price for Elizabeth Nyumi Nungarrayi - as previously expected

The work Parwalla, 2005 by Elizabeth Nyumi Nungarrayi was sold in the The Serra Collection of Aboriginal Art including property from various vendors auction at Bonhams in Sydney in July 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 10,980.00 (€ 9,325.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Parwalla, 2005 is the most expensive artwork by Elizabeth Nyumi Nungarrayi that we have observed at auctions so far.
