A top price for Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay
When the work Australian Fossicking For Gold by Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay was auctioned at Sothebys in Melbourne in May 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at AUD 28,800.00 (€ 16,296.08). This high result makes Australian Fossicking For Gold the most expensive artwork by Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay
Als die Arbeit Australian Fossicking For Gold von Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay im Mai 2009 bei Sothebys in Melbourne versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 28.800,00 (€ 16.296,08) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Australian Fossicking For Gold zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Perceval (Percy) Charles Lindsay, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
