Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Guardian of the Rock, 1983 by James Gleeson was auctioned at Bonhams in Sydney in November this year. The price achieved of AUD 9,840.00 (€ 5,966.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. 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 Guardian of the Rock, 1983 von James Gleeson kam im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Sydney zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 9.840,00 (€ 5.966,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 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).
