Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'The Pedestrian Crossing On Kirov Street' From The Series 'Moscow' by Alexander Labas was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in London in November 2015. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,341.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Labas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Army Soldier In The Far East in November 2014 with an auction result of GBP 290,500.00 (€ 365,238.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'The Pedestrian Crossing On Kirov Street' From The Series 'Moscow' von Alexander Labas wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 5.341,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Labas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Army Soldier In The Far East im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 290.500,00 (€ 365.238,70).
