Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Baldessin could be acquired at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works auction, the work Australian Personage And Window Ii (Or Personage, Window And Factory Smoke No 2) changed hands for AUD 3,840.00 (€ 2,296.23) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of AUD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Baldessin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Personage and Emblems, 1972, which sold at auction in November this year for AUD 11,685.00 (€ 7,085.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Baldessin konnte im August 2007 bei Sothebys in Melbourne für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works wechselte die Arbeit Australian Personage And Window Ii (Or Personage, Window And Factory Smoke No 2) für AUD 3.840,00 (€ 2.296,23) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Baldessin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Personage and Emblems, 1972 beobachtet, die im November diesen Jahres für AUD 11.685,00 (€ 7.085,13) versteigert wurde.
