Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.
This artwork by Nicholas Roerich achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2018. In the Russian Art auction, the work Spring in Kulu, from the Kulu series sold for GBP 125,000.00 (€ 141,271.30) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicholas Roerich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Himself Came in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,756,500.00 (€ 2,459,554.43).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Nicholas Roerich erzielte im Juni 2018 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Russian Art wurde die Arbeit Spring in Kulu, from the Kulu series für GBP 125.000,00 (€ 141.271,30) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Roerich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Himself Came im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.756.500,00 (€ 2.459.554,43).
