"This auction was successful – every third lot went under the hammer. A particularly active struggle unfolded for Waone’s work – its price increased from $1100 to $4100, that is, almost 4 times. Anatoliy Stepanenko's work also showed a significant increase - with $1100 to $2100. It is worth noting the sale of Arsen Savadov's work separately. The works of this author appear only on the international art market or on leading world platforms such as Phillips and Sotheby's," notes Khrystyna Stukovenkova, art historian, specialist at the Mercury Auction House.
