Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2008 Christies in London held the auction Russian Pictures Including Post-War and Contemporary Art Part II, which included the work Stage design for Rimskii-Korsakov's opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh by Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 23,750.00 (€ 28,715.53), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old Veliky Novgorod in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 848,750.00 (€ 963,457.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Pictures Including Post-War and Contemporary Art Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Stage design for Rimskii-Korsakov's opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh von Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 28.715,53) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Old Veliky Novgorod im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 848.750,00 (€ 963.457,51).
