Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Patricia Piccinini could be acquired at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Australian Art auction, the work Australian Boy Racer changed hands for AUD 16,800.00 (€ 9,877.05) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of AUD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Patricia Piccinini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Canopy, which sold at auction in August 2009 for AUD 56,400.00 (€ 33,158.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Patricia Piccinini konnte im August 2009 bei Sothebys in Melbourne für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Australian Art wechselte die Arbeit Australian Boy Racer für AUD 16.800,00 (€ 9.877,05) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 18.000,00 – 25.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Patricia Piccinini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian Canopy beobachtet, die im August 2009 für AUD 56.400,00 (€ 33.158,67) versteigert wurde.
