Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Dmitri Baltermants could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs auction, the work Grief, 1942 changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,500.65) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dmitri Baltermants - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grief (Ditch of Kertsch), which sold at auction in October 2013 for USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,114.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Dmitri Baltermants konnte im November 2007 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Grief, 1942 für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.500,65) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Dmitri Baltermants mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grief (Ditch of Kertsch) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.114,76) versteigert wurde.
