Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Art of the Soviet Union, which included the work Niche Surrounding A Drunken Man by Vitaly Komar. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,216.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Vitaly Komar have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in June 2021 the work Three Eggs in an Oval Niche was auctioned for GBP 35,280.00 (€ 41,110.37).
