Despite a disappointment, a good price for Louis James
This work of art by Louis James could be acquired at Sothebys in Melbourne in May 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Australian Art auction, the work Australian A Window In Moncur Street changed hands for AUD 7,200.00 (€ 4,074.02) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of AUD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Australian A Window In Moncur Street is the most expensive artwork by Louis James that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Louis James
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louis James konnte im Mai 2009 bei Sothebys in Melbourne für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Australian Art wechselte die Arbeit Australian A Window In Moncur Street für AUD 7.200,00 (€ 4.074,02) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Australian A Window In Moncur Street das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louis James, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
