A top price for Boris Smelov - 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 Eight Works From St Petersburg Series by Boris Smelov. The price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,401.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Eight Works From St Petersburg Series is the most expensive artwork by Boris Smelov 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 Eight Works From St Petersburg Series von Boris Smelov zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.401,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Eight Works From St Petersburg Series das teuerste Kunstwerk von Boris Smelov, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
