Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Crimean night, view of Oreanda and Aiu-Dagh by Ivan Aivazovsky was auctioned at Bukowski in Stockholm in June this year. The result of SEK 4,000,000.00 (€ 339,560.44) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of SEK 4,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ivan Aivazovsky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work American Shipping Off The Rock of Gibraltar in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 2,708,000.00 (€ 4,018,535.80).

Die Arbeit Crimean night, view of Oreanda and Aiu-Dagh von Ivan Aivazovsky kam im Juni diesen Jahres bei Bukowski in Stockholm zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von SEK 4.000.000,00 (€ 339.560,44) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von SEK 4.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ivan Aivazovsky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit American Shipping Off The Rock of Gibraltar im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.708.000,00 (€ 4.018.535,80).
