Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The artist at work; and fifteen erotic drawings by Sergei Eisenstein was sold in the Russian Art auction at Christies in London in June 2017. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,470.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).
