Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price
When the work Our Niko (Portrait Of Niko Pirosmani) by Lado Gudiashvili was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at GBP 75,000.00 (€ 90,024.47). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lado Gudiashvili achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work By The Black Stream in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 937,250.00 (€ 1,154,596.91).
Kunstwerk zum Zwölffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Our Niko (Portrait Of Niko Pirosmani) von Lado Gudiashvili im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 75.000,00 (€ 90.024,47) mehr als zwölfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lado Gudiashvili erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit By The Black Stream im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 937.250,00 (€ 1.154.596,91).
