In May 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction The Ken and Rona Eastaugh Collection, which included the work Australian On Lane Cove River by William Charles Piguenit. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 18,000.00 (€ 10,185.05), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Charles Piguenit - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On the 'Break-O'-Day' Plains, Tasmania (Sunset after a storm), 1895, which sold at auction in April 2003 for AUD 70,500.00 (€ 35,950.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion The Ken and Rona Eastaugh Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian On Lane Cove River von William Charles Piguenit zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 18.000,00 (€ 10.185,05) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Charles Piguenit mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit On the 'Break-O'-Day' Plains, Tasmania (Sunset after a storm), 1895 beobachtet, die im April 2003 für AUD 70.500,00 (€ 35.950,41) versteigert wurde.
