Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Cardiac Illumination II by Ahmed Mater was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2016. It changed hands for a price of USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,104.54) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ahmed Mater achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Magnetism (Triptych) in June this year with an auction result of GBP 189,000.00 (€ 219,963.46).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Cardiac Illumination II von Ahmed Mater kam im Oktober 2016 bei Christies in Dubai zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.104,54) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ahmed Mater erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Magnetism (Triptych) im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 189.000,00 (€ 219.963,46).
