Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait of Salah Youssef Kamel by Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar was sold in the Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in London in October 2017. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 71,262.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Portrait of Salah Youssef Kamel von Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar wurde im Oktober 2017 in der Auktion Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 71.262,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
