Auction result well in line with expectations

In August 2007 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works, which included the work Australian Face by Joy Hester. The price achieved of AUD 13,800.00 (€ 8,252.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Admittedly, works by Joy Hester have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Girl with Pleated Dress in April 2005 with an auction result of AUD 69,310.00 (€ 42,029.15).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im August 2007 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Face von Joy Hester zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 13.800,00 (€ 8.252,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joy Hester auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Girl with Pleated Dress im April 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 69.310,00 (€ 42.029,15).
