Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Australian Boats by Reginald Ward Sturgess was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in May 2009. It achieved a price of AUD 1,800.00 (€ 1,018.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Reginald Ward Sturgess - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australia three Watercolours By R.W Sturgess And Harold Herbert, which sold at auction in August 2008 for AUD 5,040.00 (€ 2,942.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Australian Boats von Reginald Ward Sturgess kam im Mai 2009 bei Sothebys in Melbourne zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von AUD 1.800,00 (€ 1.018,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Für andere Arbeiten von Reginald Ward Sturgess mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australia three Watercolours By R.W Sturgess And Harold Herbert beobachtet, die im August 2008 für AUD 5.040,00 (€ 2.942,09) versteigert wurde.
