Boris Sveshnikov
1927-1998
SCENE AT THE GATE
ink on paper
Boris Sveshnikov spent over eight years in a labor camp having been falsely convicted of engaging in terrorist activity at the age 19. He felled trees and dug trenches until a friend managed to get him a job as a night watchman in a carpentry workshop. His pen and ink drawings from this period are both incredibly skillful and haunting, with lonely figures in barren landscapes. Though elements of Gulag life are identifiable, comical and mysterious
ink on paper
Sheet: 13 by 19 3/4 in., 33 by 50cm
Framed: 19 3/4 by 26 1/4 in., 50 by 67cm
Acquired directly from the artist's estate by the present owner in 2003

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Scene At The Gate by Boris Sveshnikov was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. The price achieved of USD 688.00 (€ 607.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Boris Sveshnikov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 181,000.00 (€ 116,264.13).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Scene At The Gate von Boris Sveshnikov kam im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 688,00 (€ 607,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Boris Sveshnikov erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Russian Love In Winter, Circa Early 1950S im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 181.000,00 (€ 116.264,13).
