Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2007 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works, which included the work Australian Harbour Scene, Brittany by Will Ashton. The price achieved of AUD 5,400.00 (€ 3,229.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Will Ashton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian kosciusko, which sold at auction in August 2008 for AUD 21,600.00 (€ 12,608.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2007 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Harbour Scene, Brittany von Will Ashton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 5.400,00 (€ 3.229,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Will Ashton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian kosciusko beobachtet, die im August 2008 für AUD 21.600,00 (€ 12.608,96) versteigert wurde.
