The work The Fire Harrowing Team, Queensland by Hugh Sawrey was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2015. It achieved a price of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,003.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugh Sawrey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Shearing On The Boards At Bindi-Bango, which sold at auction in August 2007 for AUD 45,600.00 (€ 27,267.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
