A top price for Nikolai Smirnov - as previously expected
The work Grandmother'S Love Songs by Nikolai Smirnov was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2014. The price achieved of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 62,863.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Grandmother'S Love Songs is the most expensive artwork by Nikolai Smirnov that we have observed at auctions so far.
