Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work Danseuse by Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 11,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 56,250.00 (€ 63,448.29). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Joueur d'accordéon sold at auction in November 2020 with the realized price of GBP 100,000.00 (€ 111,633.75).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Danseuse von Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya im November 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 11.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 56.250,00 (€ 63.448,29) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Joueur d'accordéon im November 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 100.000,00 (€ 111.633,75).
