Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Peonies by Aleksandr Gerasimov was sold in the Important Russian Art auction at Christies in London in November 2019. The price achieved of GBP 175,000.00 (€ 205,492.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Aleksandr Gerasimov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life With Roses, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 361,250.00 (€ 450,101.61).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Peonies von Aleksandr Gerasimov wurde im November 2019 in der Auktion Important Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 175.000,00 (€ 205.492,79) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Aleksandr Gerasimov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life With Roses beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 361.250,00 (€ 450.101,61) versteigert wurde.
