Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction PAINTINGS FROM THE JOSEPH BROWN COLLECTION, which included the work Born To Die by Robert Rooney. The price achieved of AUD 7,170.00 (€ 4,407.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Rooney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Golden Gate, or Time's Little Sheeler, 1995, which sold at auction in November 2018 for AUD 12,200.00 (€ 10,774.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion PAINTINGS FROM THE JOSEPH BROWN COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit Born To Die von Robert Rooney zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 7.170,00 (€ 4.407,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Rooney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Golden Gate, or Time's Little Sheeler, 1995 beobachtet, die im November 2018 für AUD 12.200,00 (€ 10.774,53) versteigert wurde.
