Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2018 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Bernard Nivet; and Portrait of a woman by Konstantin Somov. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,476.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Konstantin Somov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Boxer in November 2011 with an auction result of GBP 713,250.00 (€ 832,646.34).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bernard Nivet; and Portrait of a woman von Konstantin Somov zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.476,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Konstantin Somov erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Boxer im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 713.250,00 (€ 832.646,34).
