Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Old Country House in Pushchino by Oleg Vassiliev was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 302,400.00 (€ 360,699.77). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Oleg Vassiliev; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Before The Sunset sold at auction in March 2008 with the realized price of GBP 468,500.00 (€ 588,552.20).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Old Country House in Pushchino von Oleg Vassiliev im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 302.400,00 (€ 360.699,77) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Oleg Vassiliev; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Before The Sunset im März 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 468.500,00 (€ 588.552,20).
