Auction result misses estimated price range
In August 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work Australian At Colombo by Frederick McCubbin for AUD 34,800.00 (€ 20,809.59). This price was achieved in the auction Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works at Sothebys in Melbourne and was even below the estimate range of AUD 35,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederick McCubbin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sawing Timber in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 731,700.00 (€ 994,256.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im August 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Australian At Colombo von Frederick McCubbin für AUD 34.800,00 (€ 20.809,59) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works bei Sothebys in Melbourne erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 35.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederick McCubbin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sawing Timber im Dezember 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 731.700,00 (€ 994.256,19).
