Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2018 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Profile of Boris Snejkovsky by Konstantin Somov. The price achieved of GBP 72,500.00 (€ 81,937.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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 Profile of Boris Snejkovsky von Konstantin Somov zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 72.500,00 (€ 81.937,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
