Despite a disappointment, a good price for Louise Forthun
When the work Roma I by Louise Forthun was auctioned at Christies in Sydney in August 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 8,365.00 (€ 4,855.04). Despite this disappointing result, Roma I is the most expensive artwork by Louise Forthun that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Louise Forthun
Als die Arbeit Roma I von Louise Forthun im August 2004 bei Christies in Sydney versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 8.365,00 (€ 4.855,04) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Roma I das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louise Forthun, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
