Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Boats on the Volga by Isaak Levitan was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in London in June 2015. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 35,249.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Isaak Levitan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Illumination of the Kremlin in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,588,500.00 (€ 2,224,310.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Boats on the Volga von Isaak Levitan wurde im Juni 2015 in der Auktion Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 35.249,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Isaak Levitan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Illumination of the Kremlin im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.588.500,00 (€ 2.224.310,97).
