Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price
When the work Design for the front cover of 'Russkoe iskusstvo' by Sergei Chekhonin was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,259.27). Admittedly, works by Sergei Chekhonin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase in June 2021 with an auction result of GBP 275,000.00 (€ 320,446.49).
Kunstwerk zum Zwölffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Design for the front cover of 'Russkoe iskusstvo' von Sergei Chekhonin im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.259,27) mehr als zwölfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sergei Chekhonin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 275.000,00 (€ 320.446,49).
