Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work (i) New Life, New Friends, New Foes (ii) Up to Me (iii) Blaze by Yuri Masnyj was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 600.00 (€ 739.14). Admittedly, works by Yuri Masnyj have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work In a Blind Run in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 7,320.00 (€ 5,441.17).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit (i) New Life, New Friends, New Foes (ii) Up to Me (iii) Blaze von Yuri Masnyj im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 600,00 (€ 739,14) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Yuri Masnyj auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit In a Blind Run im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.320,00 (€ 5.441,17).
