Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Flannel Flowers, c.1928 by Margaret Preston was sold in the Australian Art | Modern to Contemporary auction at Bonhams in Melbourne in September 2020. It achieved a price of AUD 24,400.00 (€ 20,822.67), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Preston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Native Flowers, 1941, in April 2021 with an auction result of AUD 504,300.00 (€ 419,202.00).
