Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Warm Wishes To Maxim Gorky by Gustav Klutsis was sold in the Vintage Posters auction at Christies in London in May 2014. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,681.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gustav Klutsis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work LONG LIVE THE USSR, which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 21,149.81).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Warm Wishes To Maxim Gorky von Gustav Klutsis wurde im Mai 2014 in der Auktion Vintage Posters bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.681,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gustav Klutsis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit LONG LIVE THE USSR beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 21.149,81) versteigert wurde.
