A top price for Michael Johnson - as previously expected
In November 2007 Sothebys in Sydney held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Yellow Ochre by Michael Johnson. The price achieved of AUD 66,000.00 (€ 39,758.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 60,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Australian Yellow Ochre is the most expensive artwork by Michael Johnson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2007 führte Sothebys in Sydney die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Yellow Ochre von Michael Johnson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 66.000,00 (€ 39.758,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 60.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Australian Yellow Ochre das teuerste Kunstwerk von Michael Johnson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
