Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In December 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Russian Pictures Including Works on Paper by Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov, which included the work Guru-Guri Dhar by Nicholas Roerich. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,750.00 (€ 25,461.60), 56% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Russian Pictures Including Works on Paper by Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov durch, in der auch die Arbeit Guru-Guri Dhar von Nicholas Roerich zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 25.461,60) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
