A top price for Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri - as previously expected
In July 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Aboriginal Art, which included the work Tjunginpa (Mouse Dreaming) by Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri. The price achieved of AUD 144,000.00 (€ 81,527.33) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Tjunginpa (Mouse Dreaming) is the most expensive artwork by Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Aboriginal Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tjunginpa (Mouse Dreaming) von Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 144.000,00 (€ 81.527,33) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Tjunginpa (Mouse Dreaming) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
