In June 2011 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work A Summer Day, Merikiul' by Ivan Shishkin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 193,250.00 (€ 213,795.20), 61% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Ivan Shishkin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Forest Clearing in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 3,177,000.00 (€ 2,040,724.56).
