A top price for Rasim Babayev - as previously expected
The work Volchitsa Wolverine by Rasim Babayev was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2007. The price achieved of GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,121.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Volchitsa Wolverine is the most expensive artwork by Rasim Babayev that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Volchitsa Wolverine von Rasim Babayev kam im Februar 2007 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.121,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Volchitsa Wolverine das teuerste Kunstwerk von Rasim Babayev, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
