Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Raw Umber Ground by Michael Johnson was sold in the COLES MYER COLLECTION auction at Christies in Melbourne in November 2004. The price achieved of AUD 5,019.00 (€ 2,923.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael Johnson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Yellow Ochre in November 2007 with an auction result of AUD 66,000.00 (€ 39,758.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Raw Umber Ground von Michael Johnson wurde im November 2004 in der Auktion COLES MYER COLLECTION bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 5.019,00 (€ 2.923,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael Johnson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian Yellow Ochre im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 66.000,00 (€ 39.758,17).
