Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Having a beer by Russell Drysdale was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,595.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Having a beer von Russell Drysdale kam im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.595,02) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. 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).
