Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The fight; and Gusli player by Dmitry Stelletsky was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,538.89). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The fight; and Gusli player von Dmitry Stelletsky im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.538,89) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
