A top price for Michael Parekowhai - as previously expected
In August 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work New Zealander Kapa Haka (Whero) by Michael Parekowhai. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 36,000.00 (€ 21,165.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, New Zealander Kapa Haka (Whero) is the most expensive artwork by Michael Parekowhai that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im August 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit New Zealander Kapa Haka (Whero) von Michael Parekowhai zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 36.000,00 (€ 21.165,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist New Zealander Kapa Haka (Whero) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Michael Parekowhai, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
