Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sennaia Square, St Petersburg by Aleksandr Briullov was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,534.03). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Aleksandr Briullov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Palazzo Farnese, which sold at auction in November 2013 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,546.28).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sennaia Square, St Petersburg von Aleksandr Briullov im November 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.534,03) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Aleksandr Briullov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Palazzo Farnese beobachtet, die im November 2013 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.546,28) versteigert wurde.
