Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Three Artists by Viktor Popkov was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 180,000.00 – 250,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 173,000.00 (€ 234,925.68). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Viktor Popkov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Family In July, 1969, which sold at auction in November 2010 for USD 842,500.00 (€ 646,287.20).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Three Artists von Viktor Popkov im Dezember 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 180.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 173.000,00 (€ 234.925,68) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Viktor Popkov mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Family In July, 1969 beobachtet, die im November 2010 für USD 842.500,00 (€ 646.287,20) versteigert wurde.
