Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Russian Pictures, which included the work Stalin Test by Vagrich Bakhchanyan. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,129.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Stalin Test von Vagrich Bakhchanyan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.129,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Vagrich Bakhchanyan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Stalin Test beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.894,78) versteigert wurde.
