Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2004 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Lipstick by Frank Malerba. The price achieved of AUD 1,195.00 (€ 693.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 900.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Malerba - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Slim, which sold at auction in August 2003 for AUD 4,112.50 (€ 2,429.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2004 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lipstick von Frank Malerba zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 1.195,00 (€ 693,58) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 900,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Malerba mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Slim beobachtet, die im August 2003 für AUD 4.112,50 (€ 2.429,47) versteigert wurde.
