Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Six costume designs for 'La bohème' by Alexandre Benois was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,620.74) 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 Alexandre Benois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Revue De La Garde Passée Par L'Empereur Paul Ier Devant Le Château Michel (6 Janvier 1801) in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 482,500.00 (€ 580,624.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Six costume designs for 'La bohème' von Alexandre Benois kam im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.620,74) 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 Alexandre Benois erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Revue De La Garde Passée Par L'Empereur Paul Ier Devant Le Château Michel (6 Janvier 1801) im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 482.500,00 (€ 580.624,17).
