Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work Australian Black Mountain In Cooktown by Russell Drysdale was sold in the Important Australian Art auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in November 2009. It achieved a price of AUD 11,400.00 (€ 6,951.46), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Russell Drysdale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian rocky Mccormack in August 2008 with an auction result of AUD 1,890,000.00 (€ 1,103,283.80).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von AUD 11.400,00 (€ 6.951,46) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 63%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Russell Drysdale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian rocky Mccormack im August 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 1.890.000,00 (€ 1.103.283,80).
