In May 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Blue Ellipse by Ilya Bolotowsky. The »bidding war« ended at USD 31,250.00 (€ 25,627.36), 74% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ilya Bolotowsky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rectangle Within a Circle, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 107,950.00 (€ 101,323.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 74 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blue Ellipse von Ilya Bolotowsky zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 25.627,36) und damit 74% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ilya Bolotowsky mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rectangle Within a Circle beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für USD 107.950,00 (€ 101.323,45) versteigert wurde.
