Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Important Russian Art, which included the work Transportation Of The Wounded by Vasily Vereshchagin. The price achieved of GBP 937,250.00 (€ 1,154,596.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vasily Vereshchagin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Taj Mahal, Evening, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 2,281,250.00 (€ 2,523,779.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Important Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Transportation Of The Wounded von Vasily Vereshchagin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 937.250,00 (€ 1.154.596,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Vasily Vereshchagin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Taj Mahal, Evening beobachtet, die im Juni 2011 für GBP 2.281.250,00 (€ 2.523.779,09) versteigert wurde.
