Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June 2021. In the Russian Pictures auction, the work Two Costume Designs for Le Coq d'Or sold for GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,166.56) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Nikolaevich Benois erzielte im Juni 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Russian Pictures wurde die Arbeit Two Costume Designs for Le Coq d'Or für GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.166,56) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. 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).
