Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Australian Port Germein by Jeffrey Smart was auctioned at Sothebys in Sydney in November 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 48,000.00 (€ 28,915.03). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jeffrey Smart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian The Painted Factory, Tuscany in August 2009 with an auction result of AUD 870,000.00 (€ 511,490.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Australian Port Germein von Jeffrey Smart im November 2007 bei Sothebys in Sydney versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 48.000,00 (€ 28.915,03) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jeffrey Smart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian The Painted Factory, Tuscany im August 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 870.000,00 (€ 511.490,18).
