In November 2015 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Fifteen Erotic Drawings by Sergei Eisenstein. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 30,267.47), 42% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sergei Eisenstein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fifteen Erotic Drawings, which sold at auction in November 2015 for GBP 60,000.00 (€ 85,461.09).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Im November 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fifteen Erotic Drawings von Sergei Eisenstein zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 30.267,47) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Sergei Eisenstein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fifteen Erotic Drawings beobachtet, die im November 2015 für GBP 60.000,00 (€ 85.461,09) versteigert wurde.
