Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Broken Icon-Lamp by Nikolai Smirnov was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2021. The price achieved of GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,618.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nikolai Smirnov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grandmother'S Love Songs, which sold at auction in November 2014 for GBP 50,000.00 (€ 62,863.80).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.618,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Nikolai Smirnov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grandmother'S Love Songs beobachtet, die im November 2014 für GBP 50.000,00 (€ 62.863,80) versteigert wurde.
