Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian Cromwell Valley, Otago by Robert Johnson was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 5,040.00 (€ 3,013.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Johnson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian Bridge Street, which sold at auction in August 2007 for AUD 14,400.00 (€ 8,610.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Australian Cromwell Valley, Otago von Robert Johnson kam im August 2007 bei Sothebys in Melbourne zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 5.040,00 (€ 3.013,80) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Johnson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian Bridge Street beobachtet, die im August 2007 für AUD 14.400,00 (€ 8.610,86) versteigert wurde.
