Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian sunbaker by Max Dupain was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 14,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 14,400.00 (€ 8,405.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Max Dupain have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sunbaker, 1937 in August 2021 with an auction result of AUD 49,200.00 (€ 41,694.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Australian sunbaker von Max Dupain kam im August 2008 bei Sothebys in Melbourne zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 14.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 14.400,00 (€ 8.405,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Max Dupain auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sunbaker, 1937 im August 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 49.200,00 (€ 41.694,92).
