A top price for Alexei Kostroma - as previously expected
The work Butterfly With Red Spots by Alexei Kostroma was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2008. The price achieved of GBP 18,500.00 (€ 23,240.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Butterfly With Red Spots is the most expensive artwork by Alexei Kostroma that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Butterfly With Red Spots von Alexei Kostroma kam im März 2008 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 18.500,00 (€ 23.240,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Butterfly With Red Spots das teuerste Kunstwerk von Alexei Kostroma, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
