A top price for Kristen Headlam
When the work Public Park by Kristen Headlam was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in August 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at AUD 71,365.00 (€ 43,490.40). This high result makes Public Park the most expensive artwork by Kristen Headlam that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Kristen Headlam
Als die Arbeit Public Park von Kristen Headlam im August 2005 bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 71.365,00 (€ 43.490,40) mehr als 14-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Public Park zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Kristen Headlam, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
