Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Varvara Fedorovna Stepanova 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 Textile Design sold for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 47,196.07) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Varvara Fedorovna Stepanova achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Figure With Guitar in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 1,650,500.00 (€ 2,062,220.78).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Varvara Fedorovna Stepanova erzielte im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Including the Bar-Gera Collection of Soviet Non-Conformist Art wurde die Arbeit Textile Design für GBP 40.000,00 (€ 47.196,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Varvara Fedorovna Stepanova erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figure With Guitar im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.650.500,00 (€ 2.062.220,78).
