Psatharis
Auction: Kashalos painting sells for nearly €33.000 as part of
€227.391 haul.
NICOSIA, FRIDAY 14 JUNE, 2019 - The painting titled
Harvest, created by Michail Kashalos, far surpassed the sum of
€18.000 that it was expected to draw at the 26th Psatharis
Auction, held at the Hilton in Nicosia on Wednesday 5 June.
Tense bidding by spenders determined to take Harvest home pushed
the winning price to soaring highs nearly doubling the
painting’s estimate. In the end, the winner paid €32.819 for the
exquisite painting by the leading Cypriot naïve.
Of the 120 items offered, 76 found buyers. The sale totaled
€227.391, equaling 90 percent of total value, a 10% increase
compared to last year’s spring auction. The result exceeded
expectations, noting a record high since the Cyprus economy came
close to collapse in the period 2012-13.
“It is a clear sign that the art auctions market is
recovering,’’ said Nicos Psatharis, founder of the auction
house, the oldest one in Cyprus.
Among the works offered on Wednesday evening Abstract Landscape
a masterful geometric by modernist Christoforos Savva who had
resurfaced in the market was sold for €25.927, the second
highest price paid at the auction. Bidding for the piece, which
was expected to lead the sale, started at €15.000 under the
evening’s auctioneer and was drawn out between determined
bidders eventually topping its estimate by nearly €11.000.
Another star of the evening, a landscape by Adamantios Diamantis
with the title The Field, was sold for €22.391, well above
expectations of €19.000. A landscape titled Dusk by the Almond
Trees, by Telemachos Kanthos, which held fourth position among
the priciest items of the collection, went under the hammer for
€10.017 surpassing its €8.500 estimate. The painting Alona by
Telemachos Kanthos fared within its predicted price fetching
€8.249.
Tense Bidding
A bright spot of the evening, The Couple by Greek artist Yiannis
Gaitis fetched €5.421 after seven intervals. Bidders fought each
other also for The Great Card Players by Lefteris Economou which
fetched €7.071. Another painting by Economou, with the title
Othonos Street sold for €5.185. A painting with the title
Combinations for Contemplation, by Marios Loizidi also surpassed
its predicted price bringing €5.303.
A total of six paintings by Xanthos Hatzisoteriou went under the
hammer with the painting Paralimni fetching the highest price at
€4.360. Bidding was much tenser for the artist’s painting The
Figures, which sold for €2.592, surpassing its €1.000 estimate
after 12 intervals.
Lower spenders fiercely fought each other for Angel by Giorgos
Erotokritou which at 10 intervals went under the hammer for
€1.119.
“We have been witnessing some fierce bidding for paintings with
medium and lower estimates. This could mean that lower spenders
who are recovering financially are coming back to the market,”
said Nicos Psatharis.
“We also see bidders from younger age groups. The latter may
prove to be tomorrow’s investors in medium and high value art,”
he said.
Lots which fared within their estimates, notably included two
paintings by Stass, At the Beach (€2.946) and Brotherly Love
(€2.946), a painting with the title Ydra (€2.357) by Giorgos
Mavroeidis, Peace (€3.889) by Andreas Charalambides and Sailor
(€2.239) by Andreas Karayan. An early painting created by
Stelios Votsis Without Title was sold for €3.299. |
