This artwork by Max Meldrum achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2008. In the Important Australian Art auction, the work Australian interior sold for AUD 9,000.00 (€ 5,253.73) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 5,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Max Meldrum erzielte im August 2008 bei Sothebys in Melbourne einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Australian Art wurde die Arbeit Australian interior für AUD 9.000,00 (€ 5.253,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von AUD 5.000,00.
