Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Australian Venus by Rosalie Gascoigne was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 24,000.00 – 34,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 22,800.00 (€ 13,633.87). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rosalie Gascoigne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beaten Track in May 2005 with an auction result of AUD 373,400.00 (€ 229,531.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Australian Venus von Rosalie Gascoigne im August 2007 bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 24.000,00 – 34.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 22.800,00 (€ 13.633,87) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rosalie Gascoigne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beaten Track im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 373.400,00 (€ 229.531,09).
