Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Still Life, from the Series Still Lifes and Memories of St Petersburg by Mikhail Chemiakin was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,728.22). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mikhail Chemiakin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still life with lemons, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 29,300.00 (€ 41,027.58).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Still Life, from the Series Still Lifes and Memories of St Petersburg von Mikhail Chemiakin im September 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.728,22) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Mikhail Chemiakin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still life with lemons beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 29.300,00 (€ 41.027,58) versteigert wurde.
