Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Study of a sleeping lady by Konstantin Somov was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2008. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 31,600.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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

Die Arbeit Study of a sleeping lady von Konstantin Somov kam im Juni 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 31.600,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 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).
