Sold at the lower estimate price
In March 2020 Phillips in New York held the auction New Now, which included the work USSR: Stronghold of the World by Igor Makarevich. The result of USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,533.50) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Igor Makarevich have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Liberty in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 29,300.00 (€ 38,323.25).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im März 2020 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion New Now durch, in der auch die Arbeit USSR: Stronghold of the World von Igor Makarevich zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.533,50) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Igor Makarevich auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Liberty im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 29.300,00 (€ 38.323,25).
