This artwork by Harold Septimus Power achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Melbourne in November 2003. In the AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS auction, the work The Picnic sold for AUD 14,100.00 (€ 8,505.84) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harold Septimus Power - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a Young Woman with Two Spaniels, which sold at auction in November this year for AUD 51,660.00 (€ 31,323.73).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Harold Septimus Power erzielte im November 2003 bei Christies in Melbourne einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS wurde die Arbeit The Picnic für AUD 14.100,00 (€ 8.505,84) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von AUD 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Harold Septimus Power mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of a Young Woman with Two Spaniels beobachtet, die im November diesen Jahres für AUD 51.660,00 (€ 31.323,73) versteigert wurde.
