Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Kelly achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Melbourne in April 2006. In the Australian, International & Contemporary Paintings Part II auction, the work Upside Down Head sold for AUD 8,962.50 (€ 5,390.71) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Kelly achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three Cows in a Pile, 2014 in August last year with an auction result of AUD 141,450.00 (€ 96,492.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Kelly erzielte im April 2006 bei Christies in Melbourne einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Australian, International & Contemporary Paintings Part II wurde die Arbeit Upside Down Head für AUD 8.962,50 (€ 5.390,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von AUD 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Kelly erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three Cows in a Pile, 2014 im August letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 141.450,00 (€ 96.492,37).
