Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Dissolving Head by James Gleeson was sold in the Australian Art | Modern to Contemporary auction at Bonhams in Melbourne in September 2020. The price achieved of AUD 976.00 (€ 832.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Gleeson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian The Dream Of Icarus in April 2008 with an auction result of AUD 174,000.00 (€ 105,274.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Dissolving Head von James Gleeson wurde im September 2020 in der Auktion Australian Art | Modern to Contemporary bei Bonhams in Melbourne versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 976,00 (€ 832,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Gleeson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian The Dream Of Icarus im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 174.000,00 (€ 105.274,02).
