Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Battle of Jericho by Sergei Essaian was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Russian Art from a Private Collection auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,312.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Sergei Essaian have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Pope'S Dinner in February 2007 with an auction result of GBP 24,000.00 (€ 35,579.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Battle of Jericho von Sergei Essaian wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Russian Art from a Private Collection bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.312,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sergei Essaian auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Pope'S Dinner im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.000,00 (€ 35.579,14).
