Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Genesis by Saeed Khalifa for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,508.10). This price was achieved in the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part II at Christies in Dubai and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Saeed Khalifa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Virgin, which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,669.36).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Genesis von Saeed Khalifa für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.508,10) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part II bei Christies in Dubai erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Saeed Khalifa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Virgin beobachtet, die im April 2012 für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.669,36) versteigert wurde.
