Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The dressing-table by Konstantin Somov was sold in the Important Russian Art auction at Christies in London in November 2017. The price achieved of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 78,041.48) 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

Die Arbeit The dressing-table von Konstantin Somov wurde im November 2017 in der Auktion Important Russian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 68.750,00 (€ 78.041,48) 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).
