A top price for Constantinos Volanakis - as previously expected
The work Greek The Arrival Of Karaiskakis At Faliro by Constantinos Volanakis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,609,250.00 (€ 1,945,704.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Greek The Arrival Of Karaiskakis At Faliro is the most expensive artwork by Constantinos Volanakis that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Greek The Arrival Of Karaiskakis At Faliro von Constantinos Volanakis kam im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.609.250,00 (€ 1.945.704,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Greek The Arrival Of Karaiskakis At Faliro das teuerste Kunstwerk von Constantinos Volanakis, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
