Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2021 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale, which included the work Sulamit Rahu by Jan Štursa. The price achieved of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,202.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Štursa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Czech messalina in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,423.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sulamit Rahu von Jan Štursa zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.202,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Štursa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Czech messalina im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 30.423,64).
