A top price for Efim Tikhmenev
When the work Hunting Scene by Efim Tikhmenev was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 68,750.00 (€ 93,359.20). This high result makes Hunting Scene the most expensive artwork by Efim Tikhmenev that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Efim Tikhmenev
Als die Arbeit Hunting Scene von Efim Tikhmenev im Dezember 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 68.750,00 (€ 93.359,20) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Hunting Scene zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Efim Tikhmenev, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
