Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2003 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Untitled (Here I am) by Ian Abdulla. The price achieved of AUD 5,875.00 (€ 3,252.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ian Abdulla have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Putting Sprinklers On Tomatoes At Night" in August 2001 with an auction result of AUD 30,550.00 (€ 17,735.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2003 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Here I am) von Ian Abdulla zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 5.875,00 (€ 3.252,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ian Abdulla auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Putting Sprinklers On Tomatoes At Night" im August 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 30.550,00 (€ 17.735,13).
