Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2019 Christies in London held the auction Important Russian Art, which included the work Two Chinese horsemen on the steppe by Vasily Vereshchagin. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 73,390.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Chinese horsemen on the steppe von Vasily Vereshchagin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 73.390,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
