A top price for Henry Khudiakov
When this work without title by Henry Khudiakov was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,618.43). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Henry Khudiakov that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Henry Khudiakov
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Henry Khudiakov im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.618,43) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Henry Khudiakov, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
