Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Owl by Vaughan Murray Griffin was auctioned at Christies in Melbourne in November 2004. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 3,346.00 (€ 1,948.95). 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).
