Sold at the lower estimate price
In June 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Gorby by Alexander Kosolapov. The result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 37,147.14) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Kosolapov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work McLenin's, which sold at auction in November 2021 for GBP 73,080.00 (€ 85,802.80).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juni 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gorby von Alexander Kosolapov zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 37.147,14) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexander Kosolapov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit McLenin's beobachtet, die im November 2021 für GBP 73.080,00 (€ 85.802,80) versteigert wurde.
