Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work North by Gunter Christmann was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in April 2006. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 8,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 8,962.50 (€ 5,390.71). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gunter Christmann - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Heavy Topscape, which sold at auction in March 2006 for AUD 28,680.00 (€ 16,928.26).
