Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Straightening Of The Spears At Ilyingaugau by Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 47,000.00 (€ 26,838.07). Other works by Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in August 2001 by the work Straightening Spears at AUD 58,750.00 (€ 34,106.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Straightening Of The Spears At Ilyingaugau von Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 47.000,00 (€ 26.838,07) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im August 2001 die Arbeit Straightening Spears mit AUD 58.750,00 (€ 34.106,02).
