Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Australian Femme Lisant (Woman Reading) by Rupert Bunny was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in May 2009. The price achieved of AUD 228,000.00 (€ 129,010.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 180,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rupert Bunny - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Femme Lisant, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 301,250.00 (€ 333,277.13).
