Auction result misses estimated price range
In August 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work Australian Zillah (Standing Nude) by Margaret Olley for AUD 28,800.00 (€ 17,221.73). This price was achieved in the auction Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works at Sothebys in Melbourne and was even below the estimate range of AUD 30,000.00 – 45,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Margaret Olley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hawkesbury Wildflowers and Pears I, 1973 in November 2021 with an auction result of AUD 159,900.00 (€ 141,667.40).
