Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sunspot by Louis Robert James was sold in the AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS auction at Christies in Melbourne in November 2002. It achieved a price of AUD 4,700.00 (€ 2,650.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Robert James - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Night, which sold at auction in August 2002 for AUD 11,750.00 (€ 6,584.36).
