Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Landscape with a rainbow by Konstantin Somov was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in London in June 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 2,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 84,100.00 (€ 100,947.44) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Konstantin Somov have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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

Die Arbeit Landscape with a rainbow von Konstantin Somov wurde im Juni 2016 in der Auktion Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 84.100,00 (€ 100.947,44) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Konstantin Somov auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Boxer im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 713.250,00 (€ 832.646,34).
