A top price for Boris Zvorykin
In November 2018 Christies in London held the auction Annabel's, which included the work Three costume designs for 'Prince Igor': Kontchakovna (i); Khan Kontchak (ii); and Ovlur polovtchanin (iii) by Boris Zvorykin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,279.70), 67% above the upper estimate.
