A top price for Alexei Sundukov
When the work The Essence of Being by Alexei Sundukov was auctioned at Phillips in London in April 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 67,250.00 (€ 77,391.60). This high result makes The Essence of Being the most expensive artwork by Alexei Sundukov that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Alexei Sundukov
Als die Arbeit The Essence of Being von Alexei Sundukov im April 2010 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 67.250,00 (€ 77.391,60) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Essence of Being zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Alexei Sundukov, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
