In August 2004 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Heron by Vaughan Murray Griffin. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 2,390.00 (€ 1,387.15), 59% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Im August 2004 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Heron von Vaughan Murray Griffin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 2.390,00 (€ 1.387,15) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
