Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Dark Topography by Elwyn Augustus Lynn. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 5,377.50 (€ 3,260.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elwyn Augustus Lynn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Thirty-Five, which sold at auction in August 2001 for AUD 12,925.00 (€ 7,503.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dark Topography von Elwyn Augustus Lynn zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 5.377,50 (€ 3.260,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Elwyn Augustus Lynn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Thirty-Five beobachtet, die im August 2001 für AUD 12.925,00 (€ 7.503,33) versteigert wurde.
