Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work The Cathedral of Znamenie; and The towers of the Kremlin by Iosif Braz was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 18,478.48). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Iosif Braz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still life with apples on a partially draped carpet, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 33,600.00 (€ 49,362.65).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Cathedral of Znamenie; and The towers of the Kremlin von Iosif Braz im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.000,00 (€ 18.478,48) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Iosif Braz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still life with apples on a partially draped carpet beobachtet, die im November 2005 für GBP 33.600,00 (€ 49.362,65) versteigert wurde.
