Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Illustration From The Resurrection Cycle by Vasili Nikolaevich Chekrygin was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2016, 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 18,750.00 (€ 22,123.16). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Vasili Nikolaevich Chekrygin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Illustration From The Resurrection Cycle sold at auction in November 2016 with the realized price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,598.03).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Illustration From The Resurrection Cycle von Vasili Nikolaevich Chekrygin im November 2016 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 18.750,00 (€ 22.123,16) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Vasili Nikolaevich Chekrygin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Illustration From The Resurrection Cycle im November 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 23.598,03).
