Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May last year Bonhams in Sidney held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Eltham, 1925 by Max Meldrum. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 7,380.00 (€ 6,877.27), 23% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Max Meldrum have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Pacé in May 2001 with an auction result of AUD 47,000.00 (€ 28,172.21).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in Sidney die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Eltham, 1925 von Max Meldrum zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 7.380,00 (€ 6.877,27) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Max Meldrum auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Pacé im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 47.000,00 (€ 28.172,21).
