Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mexican Pottery Pig by Nicolai Fechin was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in June 2021. The price achieved of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 145,657.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolai Fechin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Nadezhda Sapozhnikova in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 3,650,900.00 (€ 4,144,314.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Mexican Pottery Pig von Nicolai Fechin wurde im Juni 2021 in der Auktion Russian Art bei Christies versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 145.657,49) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolai Fechin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Nadezhda Sapozhnikova im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.650.900,00 (€ 4.144.314,62).
