Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian Untitled by Michael Johnson was auctioned at Sothebys in Sydney in April 2008. The price achieved of AUD 28,800.00 (€ 17,424.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Johnson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Yellow Ochre, which sold at auction in November 2007 for AUD 66,000.00 (€ 39,758.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Australian Untitled von Michael Johnson kam im April 2008 bei Sothebys in Sydney zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 28.800,00 (€ 17.424,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Michael Johnson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian Yellow Ochre beobachtet, die im November 2007 für AUD 66.000,00 (€ 39.758,17) versteigert wurde.
