In April 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Ruins of A Chinese Fort by Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh. The »bidding war« ended at USD 313,000.00 (€ 201,053.44), 74% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tsong-Kha-Pa, From The Series Banners of The East, which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 856,000.00 (€ 678,073.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 74 % übertroffen
