Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Founding Of Trinity Sergius Monastery by Mikhail Nesterov was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 48,050.00 (€ 59,868.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mikhail Nesterov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Winter in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 782,500.00 (€ 977,696.31).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Founding Of Trinity Sergius Monastery von Mikhail Nesterov im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 48.050,00 (€ 59.868,19) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mikhail Nesterov erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Winter im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 782.500,00 (€ 977.696,31).
