Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Christies in London held the auction Important Russian Art, which included the work Kitchen of the Monks in the Grotto by Vasily Vereshchagin. It changed hands for a price of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,479.89) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vasily Vereshchagin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Taj Mahal, Evening in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 2,281,250.00 (€ 2,523,779.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kitchen of the Monks in the Grotto von Vasily Vereshchagin zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.479,89) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vasily Vereshchagin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Taj Mahal, Evening im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.281.250,00 (€ 2.523.779,09).
