The work Woman and devil by Konstantin Somov was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,008.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Woman and devil von Konstantin Somov kam im Juni 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.008,06) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 52%. 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).
