Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Australian Flo by Hugh Ramsay was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 16,800.00 (€ 10,046.01). Other works by Hugh Ramsay have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in August 2002 by the work Young Girl in Hat with Fan at AUD 35,250.00 (€ 19,753.08).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Australian Flo von Hugh Ramsay im August 2007 bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 16.800,00 (€ 10.046,01) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Hugh Ramsay wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im August 2002 die Arbeit Young Girl in Hat with Fan mit AUD 35.250,00 (€ 19.753,08).
