Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In November 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Train by Roy De Maistre. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 70,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 79,200.00 (€ 48,294.36). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roy De Maistre - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian New Atlantis, which sold at auction in November 2009 for AUD 222,000.00 (€ 135,370.55).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im November 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Train von Roy De Maistre zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von AUD 70.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für AUD 79.200,00 (€ 48.294,36) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Roy De Maistre mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian New Atlantis beobachtet, die im November 2009 für AUD 222.000,00 (€ 135.370,55) versteigert wurde.
