Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Selbstbildnis (Self-Portrait) by Alexej von Jawlensky was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2008. The price achieved of GBP 713,250.00 (€ 901,571.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600,000.00 – 900,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexej von Jawlensky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 9,428,500.00 (€ 12,332,107.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Selbstbildnis (Self-Portrait) von Alexej von Jawlensky kam im Juni 2008 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 713.250,00 (€ 901.571,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600.000,00 – 900.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexej von Jawlensky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.428.500,00 (€ 12.332.107,99).
