The work The Fiery Underworld by Nicolas Kalmakoff was sold in the Russian Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in November 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 20,000.00 (€ 24,637.97), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolas Kalmakoff achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Aphrodite with Eros and Anteros in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 313,250.00 (€ 380,941.16).

Die Arbeit The Fiery Underworld von Nicolas Kalmakoff wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Russian Paintings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 24.637,97) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolas Kalmakoff erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Aphrodite with Eros and Anteros im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 313.250,00 (€ 380.941,16).
