Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Battle by Abdulrahim Sharif was sold in the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Dubai in April 2008. The price achieved of USD 31,000.00 (€ 19,912.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abdulrahim Sharif - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Triptych, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 67,000.00 (€ 46,309.10).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Battle von Abdulrahim Sharif wurde im April 2008 in der Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art bei Christies in Dubai versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.000,00 (€ 19.912,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Abdulrahim Sharif mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Triptych beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für USD 67.000,00 (€ 46.309,10) versteigert wurde.
