Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Important Russian Art, which included the work Kupava by Mikhail Vrubel. The price achieved of GBP 97,250.00 (€ 121,169.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mikhail Vrubel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Tsar Of The Sea, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 229,250.00 (€ 285,635.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Important Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kupava von Mikhail Vrubel zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 97.250,00 (€ 121.169,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Mikhail Vrubel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Tsar Of The Sea beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 229.250,00 (€ 285.635,41) versteigert wurde.
