Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Kazimir Malevich achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June 2014. In the Important Russian Art auction, the work Head Of A Peasant sold for GBP 2,098,500.00 (€ 2,621,975.35) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kazimir Malevich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Suprematist Composition in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 85,812,500.00 (€ 73,532,562.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kazimir Malevich erzielte im Juni 2014 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Russian Art wurde die Arbeit Head Of A Peasant für GBP 2.098.500,00 (€ 2.621.975,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kazimir Malevich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Suprematist Composition im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 85.812.500,00 (€ 73.532.562,13).
