Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Six Portraits by Alexander Rets was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,376.92). Other works by Alexander Rets have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in June 2013 by the work Two Works From Sculptor Yuri Gurov Series And Seven Works From Parties & Performances Cycle at GBP 4,250.00 (€ 4,960.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Six Portraits von Alexander Rets im Juni 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.376,92) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Alexander Rets wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juni 2013 die Arbeit Two Works From Sculptor Yuri Gurov Series And Seven Works From Parties & Performances Cycle mit GBP 4.250,00 (€ 4.960,51).
