Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Boris Sveshnikov could be acquired at Sothebys in London in November 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Russian Art Day Sale auction, the work Farewell changed hands for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,546.28) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Boris Sveshnikov have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 181,000.00 (€ 116,264.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Boris Sveshnikov konnte im November 2013 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Russian Art Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit Farewell für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.546,28) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Boris Sveshnikov auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 181.000,00 (€ 116.264,13).
