Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Franz Josef Land, October 1934 by Wladimir Goichman was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 840.00 (€ 1,239.18). Other works by Wladimir Goichman have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in September 2006 by the work The Admiral Tegetthoff frozen in, Franz-Josef Land, 1873 at GBP 960.00 (€ 1,416.20).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Franz Josef Land, October 1934 von Wladimir Goichman im September 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 840,00 (€ 1.239,18) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Wladimir Goichman wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im September 2006 die Arbeit The Admiral Tegetthoff frozen in, Franz-Josef Land, 1873 mit GBP 960,00 (€ 1.416,20).
