PAUL JONES (Australia 1921-1998)
Ipomea alba (Moonflower)
pencil and watercolour
A preparatory sketch for an intended plate in 'Flora Superba'

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In December 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction THE CONTENTS OF BRONTE HOUSE, which included the work Ipomea Alba (Moonflower) by Paul Jones. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 5,287.50 (€ 3,156.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Jones - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flushing a mallard; and Chasing a rabbit, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 5,400.00 (€ 7,946.47).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion THE CONTENTS OF BRONTE HOUSE durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ipomea Alba (Moonflower) von Paul Jones zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von AUD 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für AUD 5.287,50 (€ 3.156,47) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Jones mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flushing a mallard; and Chasing a rabbit beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 5.400,00 (€ 7.946,47) versteigert wurde.
