Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Three Shells by Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar was worth GBP 15,360.00 (€ 17,871.46) to a buyer in May this year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Construction Of The Suez Canal in March 2014 with an auction result of USD 1,023,750.00 (€ 743,086.30).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Three Shells von Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar war einem Käufer im Mai diesen Jahres GBP 15.360,00 (€ 17.871,46) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art bei Bonhams in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Construction Of The Suez Canal im März 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.023.750,00 (€ 743.086,30).
