Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Three Works From The Blue Butterflies Series And Two Works From Phantom Sensations Series by Sergei Kozhemiakin was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,500.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,772.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sergei Kozhemiakin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Presence, The Elder Brother And Five Works From The Family Album Series, which sold at auction in June 2013 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,127.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Three Works From The Blue Butterflies Series And Two Works From Phantom Sensations Series von Sergei Kozhemiakin im Juni 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.500,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.772,05) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Sergei Kozhemiakin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Presence, The Elder Brother And Five Works From The Family Album Series beobachtet, die im Juni 2013 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.127,69) versteigert wurde.
