Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2009 Sothebys in Melbourne held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Life In A Temple by Norman Lindsay. The price achieved of AUD 45,600.00 (€ 26,809.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Norman Lindsay have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Springs Innocence in November 2002 with an auction result of AUD 329,000.00 (€ 185,534.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2009 führte Sothebys in Melbourne die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Life In A Temple von Norman Lindsay zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 45.600,00 (€ 26.809,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Norman Lindsay auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Springs Innocence im November 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 329.000,00 (€ 185.534,53).
