Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work Costume design for a slave by Léon Bakst was sold in the British and European Art auction at Bonhams in London in July this year. It achieved a price of GBP 7,040.00 (€ 8,213.55), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léon Bakst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Dancer In Costume in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 624,000.00 (€ 926,659.53).

Die Arbeit Costume design for a slave von Léon Bakst wurde im Juli diesen Jahres in der Auktion British and European Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 7.040,00 (€ 8.213,55) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 41%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léon Bakst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Dancer In Costume im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 624.000,00 (€ 926.659,53).
