A top price for Alexander Kharitonov
When the work Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965 by Alexander Kharitonov was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 145,000.00 (€ 93,139.77). This high result makes Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965 the most expensive artwork by Alexander Kharitonov that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Alexander Kharitonov
Als die Arbeit Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965 von Alexander Kharitonov im April 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 145.000,00 (€ 93.139,77) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Russian Faith From The Sorceress Series, 1965 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Alexander Kharitonov, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
