This artwork by Sergei Shablavin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2019. In the Important Russian Art auction, the work Summer landscape with train from the 'Railway' series sold for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,678.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sergei Shablavin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Russian Winter, 1981, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 67,000.00 (€ 43,037.00).
