Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Costume design for a Raven in Petrushka by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois was sold in the Russian Pictures auction at Sothebys in London in December 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,016.00 (€ 2,252.05). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Promenade of Empress Elizabeth in April 2006 with an auction result of USD 441,600.00 (€ 349,809.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Costume design for a Raven in Petrushka von Alexander Nikolaevich Benois wurde im Dezember 2020 in der Auktion Russian Pictures bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 2.016,00 (€ 2.252,05) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Nikolaevich Benois erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Promenade of Empress Elizabeth im April 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 441.600,00 (€ 349.809,89).
