Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Set Design for The Merchant of Venice by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020. The price achieved of GBP 5,040.00 (€ 5,630.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Set Design for The Merchant of Venice von Alexander Nikolaevich Benois kam im Dezember 2020 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.040,00 (€ 5.630,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
