Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Australian Peregrine Smith by Joy Hester was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 5,400.00 (€ 3,174.77). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joy Hester achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Girl with Pleated Dress in April 2005 with an auction result of AUD 69,310.00 (€ 42,029.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Australian Peregrine Smith von Joy Hester im August 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 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 5.400,00 (€ 3.174,77) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joy Hester erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Girl with Pleated Dress im April 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 69.310,00 (€ 42.029,15).
