Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2018 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Portrait of group with watermelon by Oleg Tselkov. It changed hands for a price of GBP 187,500.00 (€ 211,906.95) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oleg Tselkov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boy with Balloons, which sold at auction in December 2021 for GBP 571,600.00 (€ 681,798.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of group with watermelon von Oleg Tselkov zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 187.500,00 (€ 211.906,95) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Oleg Tselkov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boy with Balloons beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für GBP 571.600,00 (€ 681.798,90) versteigert wurde.
