A top price for Yvonne Audette
When the work Australian Construction In Oil, No. 21 by Yvonne Audette was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at AUD 90,000.00 (€ 53,817.90). This high result makes Australian Construction In Oil, No. 21 the most expensive artwork by Yvonne Audette that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Yvonne Audette
Als die Arbeit Australian Construction In Oil, No. 21 von Yvonne Audette im August 2007 bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 90.000,00 (€ 53.817,90) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Australian Construction In Oil, No. 21 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Yvonne Audette, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
