Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Golden Hawk by Vaughan Murray Griffin. The price achieved of AUD 2,390.00 (€ 1,449.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vaughan Murray Griffin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Old Moreton Bay Fig, Banyule Heidelberg, which sold at auction in May 2005 for AUD 7,767.50 (€ 4,774.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Golden Hawk von Vaughan Murray Griffin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 2.390,00 (€ 1.449,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Vaughan Murray Griffin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Old Moreton Bay Fig, Banyule Heidelberg beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für AUD 7.767,50 (€ 4.774,73) versteigert wurde.
