Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Greeting card: Four Seasons by Dmitry Stelletsky was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in London in June 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,701.55) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dmitry Stelletsky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work De L'Aube À La Nuit in December 2015 with an auction result of GBP 401,000.00 (€ 544,538.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Greeting card: Four Seasons von Dmitry Stelletsky wurde im Juni 2016 in der Auktion Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.701,55) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dmitry Stelletsky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit De L'Aube À La Nuit im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 401.000,00 (€ 544.538,72).
