Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Russian A Stroll (Progulka), 1959 by Alexander Kharitonov was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,000.00 (€ 23,766.70). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Kharitonov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 145,000.00 (€ 93,139.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Russian A Stroll (Progulka), 1959 von Alexander Kharitonov im April 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.000,00 (€ 23.766,70) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexander Kharitonov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965 beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 145.000,00 (€ 93.139,77) versteigert wurde.
