Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In August 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Milking Time - Droving Cattle by William Charles Piguenit. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 22,325.00 (€ 13,188.54). 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 leicht übertroffen
Im August 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Milking Time - Droving Cattle von William Charles Piguenit zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von AUD 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für AUD 22.325,00 (€ 13.188,54) einen neuen Besitzer. 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.
