Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study of A Head by Vladimir Alexandrovich Serov was sold in the Important Russian Pictures auction at Christies in London in November 2006. The price achieved of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,820.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vladimir Alexandrovich Serov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study For 'October, Domotkanovo', which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 72,000.00 (€ 57,034.22).
