Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian Self Portrait by Mike Parr was sold in the Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 5,000.00 – 9,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 5,400.00 (€ 3,229.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mike Parr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Enquiry (Menbrane of the 20th Century), 1987, which sold at auction in November last year for AUD 14,760.00 (€ 9,604.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Australian Self Portrait von Mike Parr wurde im August 2007 in der Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 5.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 5.400,00 (€ 3.229,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Mike Parr mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Enquiry (Menbrane of the 20th Century), 1987 beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für AUD 14.760,00 (€ 9.604,08) versteigert wurde.
