A top price for Norman Lindsay
In November 2002 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Springs Innocence by Norman Lindsay. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 329,000.00 (€ 185,534.53), 32% above the upper estimate. With this result, Springs Innocence is even the most expensive work of art by Norman Lindsay that we have observed at auctions so far.
