Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Boy in an Ushanka by Konstantin Ivanovich Rozhdestvensky was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 189,000.00 (€ 211,129.84). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Konstantin Ivanovich Rozhdestvensky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grain Silo, which sold at auction in December 2020 for GBP 644,200.00 (€ 719,628.81).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Boy in an Ushanka von Konstantin Ivanovich Rozhdestvensky im Dezember 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 189.000,00 (€ 211.129,84) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Konstantin Ivanovich Rozhdestvensky mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grain Silo beobachtet, die im Dezember 2020 für GBP 644.200,00 (€ 719.628,81) versteigert wurde.
