Despite a disappointment, a good price for Shimon Okshteyn

This work of art by Shimon Okshteyn could be acquired at Christies in New York in April 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Russian Art auction, the work Birds of a feather flock together changed hands for USD 31,250.00 (€ 23,492.71) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Birds of a feather flock together is the most expensive artwork by Shimon Okshteyn that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Shimon Okshteyn

Dieses Kunstwerk von Shimon Okshteyn konnte im April 2010 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Russian Art wechselte die Arbeit Birds of a feather flock together für USD 31.250,00 (€ 23.492,71) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Birds of a feather flock together das teuerste Kunstwerk von Shimon Okshteyn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
