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.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Grandmother'S Love Songs von Nikolai Smirnov kam im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 62.863,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Grandmother'S Love Songs das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nikolai Smirnov, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
