A top price for Mikhail Vrubel - as previously expected
The work The Tsar Of The Sea by Mikhail Vrubel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012. The price achieved of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 285,635.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 180,000.00 – 250,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Tsar Of The Sea is the most expensive artwork by Mikhail Vrubel that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The Tsar Of The Sea von Mikhail Vrubel kam im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 229.250,00 (€ 285.635,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 180.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Tsar Of The Sea das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mikhail Vrubel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
