This artwork by William Rubery Bennett achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Melbourne in April 2003. In the THE ESTATE OF THE LATE FREDERICK D. BLADIN auction, the work Valley View, Burragorang sold for AUD 9,400.00 (€ 4,793.39) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Rubery Bennett - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Storm Clouds over Silverdale (Close to Camden, NSW), which sold at auction in May 2002 for AUD 30,550.00 (€ 18,515.15).
