Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Works From The Salt Lake Series by Boris Mikhailov was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,685.45). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Boris Mikhailov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Twenty-Three Works From By The Ground Series in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 57,500.00 (€ 67,112.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Works From The Salt Lake Series von Boris Mikhailov im Juni 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.685,45) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Boris Mikhailov erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Twenty-Three Works From By The Ground Series im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 57.500,00 (€ 67.112,80).
