Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Alexander Orlovsky could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Russian Art auction, the work Giacomo Quarenghi wearing the Order of the Knights of Malta and playing the flute changed hands for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,203.11) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alexander Orlovsky have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Battle between the Georgians and the mountain tribes in November 2011 with an auction result of GBP 58,850.00 (€ 68,701.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Orlovsky konnte im November 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Russian Art wechselte die Arbeit Giacomo Quarenghi wearing the Order of the Knights of Malta and playing the flute für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.203,11) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexander Orlovsky auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Battle between the Georgians and the mountain tribes im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 58.850,00 (€ 68.701,35).
