Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction PAINTINGS FROM THE JOSEPH BROWN COLLECTION, which included the work Painting by Ralph Balson. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 35,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 35,850.00 (€ 22,037.20). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ralph Balson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled, 1941 in November 2018 with an auction result of AUD 402,600.00 (€ 355,559.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion PAINTINGS FROM THE JOSEPH BROWN COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit Painting von Ralph Balson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von AUD 35.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für AUD 35.850,00 (€ 22.037,20) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ralph Balson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled, 1941 im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 402.600,00 (€ 355.559,48).
