Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Will Ashton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Melbourne in November 2009. In the Important Australian Art auction, the work Australian Rue Mouffetard sold for AUD 16,800.00 (€ 10,244.26) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 8,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Will Ashton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Australian kosciusko sold at auction in August 2008 with the realized price of AUD 21,600.00 (€ 12,608.96).
