Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2015 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work A Concubine With A Hand Mirror by Paul Mak. The price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 15,133.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Mak - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Schéhérazade With A Peacock, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 28,800.00 (€ 42,768.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Concubine With A Hand Mirror von Paul Mak zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 15.133,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Mak mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Schéhérazade With A Peacock beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 28.800,00 (€ 42.768,90) versteigert wurde.
