Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Meadow Pond by Vilhelms Purvitis was sold in the Russian Pictures auction at Sothebys in London in June 2016. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,502.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vilhelms Purvitis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seenlandschaft, which sold at auction in November 2012 for EUR 21,930.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Meadow Pond von Vilhelms Purvitis wurde im Juni 2016 in der Auktion Russian Pictures bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.502,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Vilhelms Purvitis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seenlandschaft beobachtet, die im November 2012 für EUR 21.930,00 versteigert wurde.
