In November 2007 Sothebys in Sydney held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian After The Ark by Leonard French. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 156,000.00 (€ 93,973.86), 56% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Leonard French; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Australian The Crossing sold at auction in May 2007 with the realized price of AUD 156,000.00 (€ 95,921.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
