Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction European Paintings, which included the work Greek thetis by Alékos Kondópoulos. The price achieved of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 60,296.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alékos Kondópoulos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Greek Présence D'Un Souvenir (Presence Of A Memory), which sold at auction in April 2008 for GBP 102,500.00 (€ 130,673.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Greek thetis von Alékos Kondópoulos zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 51.650,00 (€ 60.296,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alékos Kondópoulos mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Greek Présence D'Un Souvenir (Presence Of A Memory) beobachtet, die im April 2008 für GBP 102.500,00 (€ 130.673,02) versteigert wurde.
