A top price for Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi - as previously expected
The work Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 by Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 44,200.00 (€ 28,391.57) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 is the most expensive artwork by Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 von Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi kam im April 2008 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 44.200,00 (€ 28.391,57) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
