Auction result well in line with expectations
The work On The Inside by Paul Partos was sold in the Important Australian Art auction at Sothebys in Melbourne in November 2008. The price achieved of AUD 9,600.00 (€ 4,950.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Partos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled 12 (X,O, Paintings Series), which sold at auction in May 2003 for AUD 35,250.00 (€ 19,512.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit On The Inside von Paul Partos wurde im November 2008 in der Auktion Important Australian Art bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 9.600,00 (€ 4.950,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Partos mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled 12 (X,O, Paintings Series) beobachtet, die im Mai 2003 für AUD 35.250,00 (€ 19.512,43) versteigert wurde.
