Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Blue Nude by Ian Armstrong was sold in the AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS auction at Christies in Melbourne in May 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 1,015.75 (€ 593.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ian Armstrong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mount Korong in November 2000 with an auction result of AUD 16,450.00 (€ 9,956.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Blue Nude von Ian Armstrong wurde im Mai 2004 in der Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 1.015,75 (€ 593,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ian Armstrong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mount Korong im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 16.450,00 (€ 9.956,28).
