Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2011 Christies in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Australian Art with Works by 20th Century African Artists, which included the work Hill side, Trusham by Grace Cossington Smith. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,500.00 (€ 7,522.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Grace Cossington Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life With Jugs in May 2004 with an auction result of AUD 203,150.00 (€ 118,694.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Australian Art with Works by 20th Century African Artists durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hill side, Trusham von Grace Cossington Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.500,00 (€ 7.522,51) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Grace Cossington Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life With Jugs im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 203.150,00 (€ 118.694,01).
