A top price for Andrey Chezhin - as previously expected
In June 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Changing Focus - A Collection of Russian and Eastern European Contemporary Photography, which included the work White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And Multi-Colour Square Series by Andrey Chezhin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,589.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And Multi-Colour Square Series is the most expensive artwork by Andrey Chezhin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Changing Focus - A Collection of Russian and Eastern European Contemporary Photography durch, in der auch die Arbeit White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And Multi-Colour Square Series von Andrey Chezhin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.589,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist White Square; Black Square, Gray Square, Red Square, Blue Square, Yellow Square, Green Square, Brown Square And Multi-Colour Square Series das teuerste Kunstwerk von Andrey Chezhin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
