Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In August 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Godzilla Enters Tokyo Bay by Susan Norrie. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 2,640.00 (€ 1,552.11), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Susan Norrie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pageant I, 1987 in November 2018 with an auction result of AUD 40,260.00 (€ 35,555.95).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im August 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Godzilla Enters Tokyo Bay von Susan Norrie zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 2.640,00 (€ 1.552,11) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Susan Norrie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pageant I, 1987 im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 40.260,00 (€ 35.555,95).
