Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of Sir John Buchanan, The British Ambassador by Ilya Repin was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2004. The price achieved of GBP 3,824.00 (€ 5,500.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ilya Repin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Parisian Café in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 4,521,250.00 (€ 5,001,922.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir John Buchanan, The British Ambassador von Ilya Repin kam im November 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.824,00 (€ 5.500,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ilya Repin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Parisian Café im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.521.250,00 (€ 5.001.922,73).
