This artwork by Eric Wilson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Melbourne in November 2009. In the Important Australian Art auction, the work Australian Street In Siena sold for AUD 36,000.00 (€ 21,951.98) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eric Wilson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paris, 1940s, which sold at auction in April 2021 for AUD 61,500.00 (€ 51,122.19).
