Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Australian Triumphal March by John Brack was auctioned at Sothebys in Sydney in May 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at AUD 210,000.00 (€ 129,125.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Brack achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian The Old Time in May 2007 with an auction result of AUD 3,360,000.00 (€ 2,066,001.64).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Australian Triumphal March von John Brack im Mai 2007 bei Sothebys in Sydney versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 210.000,00 (€ 129.125,10) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Brack erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian The Old Time im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 3.360.000,00 (€ 2.066.001,64).
