Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2001 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS, which included the work Towards Dusk by William Dunn Knox. The price achieved of AUD 4,700.00 (€ 2,817.22) 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 William Dunn Knox - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Yarra Valley, which sold at auction in September 2005 for AUD 10,755.00 (€ 6,817.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Towards Dusk von William Dunn Knox zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 4.700,00 (€ 2.817,22) 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 William Dunn Knox mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Yarra Valley beobachtet, die im September 2005 für AUD 10.755,00 (€ 6.817,09) versteigert wurde.
