Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In June 2019 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Costume design for 'War and Peace': French Cuirassier by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,091.41), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boats On The Neva in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 92,500.00 (€ 115,574.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Costume design for 'War and Peace': French Cuirassier von Mstislav Dobuzhinsky zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.091,41) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mstislav Dobuzhinsky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boats On The Neva im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 92.500,00 (€ 115.574,32).
