Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Australian Pêcheur Sur Falaise by John Peter Russell was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in May 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 456,000.00 (€ 258,021.24). Admittedly, works by John Peter Russell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Australian Boys On The Beach, Belle-Ile in May 2007 with an auction result of AUD 1,800,000.00 (€ 1,106,786.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Australian Pêcheur Sur Falaise von John Peter Russell im Mai 2009 bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 456.000,00 (€ 258.021,24) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Peter Russell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Australian Boys On The Beach, Belle-Ile im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 1.800.000,00 (€ 1.106.786,59).
