This artwork by Alexander Kharitonov achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2021. In the Post-War and Contemporary Russian Art from a Private Collection auction, the work Fairy Tale No.2 sold for GBP 37,800.00 (€ 45,087.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Kharitonov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 145,000.00 (€ 93,139.77).
