Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2008 Christies in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Australian and South African Art, which included the work Police Rock Hole (2002) by Paddy Bedford. The result of GBP 20,000 (€ 21,006) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 20,000 - 30,000. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paddy Bedford - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work , which sold at auction in November 2007 for AUD 120,000 (€ 72,288).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Australian and South African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Police Rock Hole (2002) von Paddy Bedford zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 20.000 (€ 21.006) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 20.000 – 30.000. Für andere Arbeiten von Paddy Bedford mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit beobachtet, die im November 2007 für AUD 120.000 (€ 72.288) versteigert wurde.
