Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Three Works From Touching The City Series by Andrey Chezhin 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 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,604.87). Admittedly, works by Andrey Chezhin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And  Multi-Colour Square Series in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,589.74).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Three Works From Touching The City Series von Andrey Chezhin 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 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.604,87) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Andrey Chezhin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And  Multi-Colour Square Series im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.589,74).
