A top price for Joy Hester
In April 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Girl with Pleated Dress by Joy Hester. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 69,310.00 (€ 42,029.15), 16% above the upper estimate. With this result, Girl with Pleated Dress is even the most expensive work of art by Joy Hester that we have observed at auctions so far.
