Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2017 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Infantin (Spanierin) by Alexej von Jawlensky. The price achieved of GBP 3,189,000.00 (€ 3,631,676.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500,000.00 – 3,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexej von Jawlensky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat), which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 9,428,500.00 (€ 12,332,107.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Infantin (Spanierin) von Alexej von Jawlensky zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.189.000,00 (€ 3.631.676,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500.000,00 – 3.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexej von Jawlensky mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 9.428.500,00 (€ 12.332.107,99) versteigert wurde.
