Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Russian Paintings, which included the work The Winter Thaw by Boris Sveshnikov. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 38,496.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Boris Sveshnikov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 181,000.00 (€ 116,264.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Russian Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Winter Thaw von Boris Sveshnikov zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 38.496,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Boris Sveshnikov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 181.000,00 (€ 116.264,13) versteigert wurde.
