In August 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Sylvan Dam by Ernest William Buckmaster. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 11,162.50 (€ 6,594.27), 40% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ernest William Buckmaster - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Morning along the Goulburn Thornton towards Eildon, Victoria, which sold at auction in May 2003 for AUD 27,025.00 (€ 14,959.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Im August 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sylvan Dam von Ernest William Buckmaster zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 11.162,50 (€ 6.594,27) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ernest William Buckmaster mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Morning along the Goulburn Thornton towards Eildon, Victoria beobachtet, die im Mai 2003 für AUD 27.025,00 (€ 14.959,53) versteigert wurde.
