Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Figure in a Circle by Oleg Vassiliev was worth GBP 220,500.00 (€ 263,010.25) to a buyer in December 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War and Contemporary Russian Art from a Private Collection at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oleg Vassiliev - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Before The Sunset, which sold at auction in March 2008 for GBP 468,500.00 (€ 588,552.20).
