Found at Christies, London
Russian Art, Lot 88
29. Nov - 29. Nov 2010
Estimate: 3.000 - 5.000 GBP
Price realised: 6.875 GBP
Georges Barbier (1882-1932)
Nijinsky in Narcisse (illustrated); and Karsavina in La tragédie de Salomé
the first signed and dated 'G. Barbier 1911' (lower right): the second signed and dated 'G. Barbier/1913' (upper right);
the first ink and gouache, heightened with silver, on paper; the second ink and watercolour on paper
the first 9¾ x 6¼ in. (25 x 15.3 cm.); the second 7¾ x 5¾ in. (9.4 x 14.6 cm.) (2)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.

In November 2010 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Nijinsky in Narcisse (illustrated); and Karsavina in La tragédie de Salomé by Georges Barbier. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,215.61), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georges Barbier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ida Rubinstein and Vaslav Nijinsky in Scheherazade in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 107,100.00 (€ 119,640.25).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen

Im November 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nijinsky in Narcisse (illustrated); and Karsavina in La tragédie de Salomé von Georges Barbier zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.215,61) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georges Barbier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ida Rubinstein and Vaslav Nijinsky in Scheherazade im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 107.100,00 (€ 119.640,25).
