Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work November by Andrei Filippov was auctioned at Phillips in London in October 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 13,200.00 (€ 18,956.07). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Andrei Filippov; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Three Candles, From The Auspicies Series sold at auction in November 2013 with the realized price of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 36,100.98).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit November von Andrei Filippov im Oktober 2007 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 13.200,00 (€ 18.956,07) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Andrei Filippov; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Three Candles, From The Auspicies Series im November 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 36.100,98).
