In April 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Europa twisting her Hair by David Boyd. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 5,019.00 (€ 3,043.49), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Boyd achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Monoliths, 1962 in May last year with an auction result of AUD 51,045.00 (€ 47,567.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im April 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Europa twisting her Hair von David Boyd zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 5.019,00 (€ 3.043,49) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Boyd erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Monoliths, 1962 im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 51.045,00 (€ 47.567,79).
