Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Costume design for 'Aladin': Barbison by Léon Bakst was worth GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,919.54) to a buyer in November 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Annabel's at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. 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).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Costume design for 'Aladin': Barbison von Léon Bakst war einem Käufer im November 2018 GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.919,54) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Annabel's bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
