Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Tibetan Beauty by Svetoslav Roerich was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,920.53). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Svetoslav Roerich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of A Tibetan Woman And Her Granddaughter in April 2006 with an auction result of USD 262,400.00 (€ 207,858.05).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Tibetan Beauty von Svetoslav Roerich im Dezember 2009 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.920,53) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Svetoslav Roerich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of A Tibetan Woman And Her Granddaughter im April 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 262.400,00 (€ 207.858,05).
