Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ubud by Michael Johnson was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in May 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 30,550.00 (€ 18,515.15) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 Ubud von Michael Johnson kam im Mai 2002 bei Christies in Melbourne zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 30.550,00 (€ 18.515,15) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
