Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Wintjiya Napaltjarri was sold in the Aboriginal Art auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,040.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Wintjiya Napaltjarri have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in July 2009 the work Sandhills was auctioned for AUD 36,000.00 (€ 20,381.83).
