Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian Looking The Dark by John Kelly was sold in the Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. The price achieved of AUD 55,200.00 (€ 33,008.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 45,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Kelly - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three Cows in a Pile, 2014, which sold at auction in August last year for AUD 141,450.00 (€ 96,492.37).
