Freddie Timms Value and auction results

Works offered at auction: 321
Sale rate: 72%
Highest recorded sale: $66000 AUD
Median sale price: $6500 AUD

This page is the auction and market companion to the main Freddie Timms artist page. For his biography, painting style, Country and importance within East Kimberley art, see the main artist page.

Freddie Timms has a well-established secondary market, with his strongest results generally associated with major paintings of East Kimberley Country. Size, date, subject, provenance, exhibition history and the quality of the individual work can all have a significant effect on price.

The median sale price is the middle result when recorded sales are arranged from lowest to highest. It provides a useful indication of the centre of Timms’ auction market without being disproportionately influenced by a handful of exceptional prices.

The auction results below show both the range of Freddie Timms’ paintings that have appeared on the secondary market and how prices for his work have developed over time.

About This Artist Value Page

The headline auction statistics at the top of this page — including the number of works offered, sale rate, highest recorded sale and median sale price — are calculated from the auction records reviewed for this artist.

Everything below those figures should be regarded as a curated and subjective selection rather than a complete record of the artist’s auction history.

This is not a database of works sold. For comprehensive Australian art auction records and market data, I recommend the Australian Art sales Digest

I select works primarily to show the variety, development and quality of an artist’s work. I favour works with good-quality images over those represented by small or poor auction photographs, and I naturally include paintings that I find particularly interesting or useful in understanding the artist. Although I try to choose representative examples from different periods, subjects, sizes and price levels, these choices inevitably introduce bias.

The highest auction results also require caution. An artist’s three, four or five strongest results may be for exceptional works that entered Australian or international public collections or attracted unusually strong institutional and collector competition. Such prices should not automatically be regarded as representative of the broader market for that artist.

These pages are part of my continuing education in Aboriginal art and are intended primarily for people who enjoy the art and want to explore the variety and evolution of an artist’s work. Apart from the headline auction statistics, the selection, commentary and interpretation on this page are subjective and should not be relied upon for valuation, investment, insurance, taxation or other commercial purposes.

All images featured in this article are presented strictly for educational and informational purposes.

This website may include copyrighted material for which specific authorization has not been obtained from the copyright owner.

All such images are presumed to be the intellectual property of the respective artist or their estate, and are used in accordance with principles of fair dealing or fair use under applicable copyright law.
