Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In June 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Russian Pictures, which included the work The Fountain by Natalia Nesterova. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 27,720.00 (€ 32,301.01), 39% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Natalia Nesterova - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dancing People, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 78,000.00 (€ 112,013.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Fountain von Natalia Nesterova zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 27.720,00 (€ 32.301,01) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Natalia Nesterova mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dancing People beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 78.000,00 (€ 112.013,13) versteigert wurde.
