Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2004 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Tea Break by James Alfred Turner. The price achieved of AUD 26,290.00 (€ 15,258.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Alfred Turner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On Guard, which sold at auction in May 2004 for AUD 101,575.00 (€ 59,347.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2004 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tea Break von James Alfred Turner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 26.290,00 (€ 15.258,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James Alfred Turner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit On Guard beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für AUD 101.575,00 (€ 59.347,00) versteigert wurde.
