This artwork by Vagrich Bakhchanyan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2016. In the Including the Bar-Gera Collection of Soviet Non-Conformist Art auction, the work Festive Moscow sold for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,424.63) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vagrich Bakhchanyan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stalin Test, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,894.78).
