A top price for Lev Dmitriev-Kavkazsky - as previously expected
The work Reading The Koran by Lev Dmitriev-Kavkazsky was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2004. The price achieved of GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,876.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Reading The Koran is the most expensive artwork by Lev Dmitriev-Kavkazsky that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Reading The Koran von Lev Dmitriev-Kavkazsky kam im November 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.780,00 (€ 6.876,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Reading The Koran das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lev Dmitriev-Kavkazsky, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
