Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian The Letter by Garry Shead. The price achieved of AUD 174,000.00 (€ 102,298.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Garry Shead - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Queen Of Suburbia, which sold at auction in August 2007 for AUD 432,000.00 (€ 258,325.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian The Letter von Garry Shead zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 174.000,00 (€ 102.298,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Garry Shead mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian Queen Of Suburbia beobachtet, die im August 2007 für AUD 432.000,00 (€ 258.325,93) versteigert wurde.
