Artwork auctioned at 13 times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait Of Count Alexei Ivanovich Vasiliev (1742-1807) by Vladimir Borovikovsky was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 13 times as high at GBP 106,250.00 (€ 119,846.77). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vladimir Borovikovsky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Prince Petr Vasilievich Lopukhin (1753-1827), Wearing The Star And Sash Of The Order Of St Andrew, The Star And Cross Of The Order Of St Vladimir, The Order Of Alexander Nevskii, The Order Of Malta And A Diamond Portrait Badge in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 2,154,500.00 (€ 2,691,944.6

Kunstwerk zum 13-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Count Alexei Ivanovich Vasiliev (1742-1807) von Vladimir Borovikovsky im November 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 106.250,00 (€ 119.846,77) mehr als 13-mal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vladimir Borovikovsky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Prince Petr Vasilievich Lopukhin (1753-1827), Wearing The Star And Sash Of The Order Of St Andrew, The Star And Cross Of The Order Of St Vladimir, The Order Of Alexander Nevskii, The Order Of Malta And A Diamond Portrait Badge im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.154.500,00 (€ 2.691.944,67).
