Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2011 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art, which included the work Portrait of Fateh Moudarres by Abdullatif Al-Smoudi. The price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 42,169.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abdullatif Al-Smoudi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Soul of the East, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 133,000.00 (€ 91,927.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2011 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Fateh Moudarres von Abdullatif Al-Smoudi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 42.169,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Abdullatif Al-Smoudi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Soul of the East beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für USD 133.000,00 (€ 91.927,01) versteigert wurde.
