A top price for Wintjiya Napaltjarri - as previously expected
The work Sandhills by Wintjiya Napaltjarri was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in July 2009. The price achieved of AUD 36,000.00 (€ 20,381.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sandhills is the most expensive artwork by Wintjiya Napaltjarri that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 36.000,00 (€ 20.381,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Sandhills das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wintjiya Napaltjarri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
