Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Illumination by Ahmed Mater was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in March 2016. It achieved a price of USD 47,500.00 (€ 41,703.25), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. Admittedly, works by Ahmed Mater have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Magnetism (Triptych) in June this year with an auction result of GBP 189,000.00 (€ 219,963.46).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Illumination von Ahmed Mater kam im März 2016 bei Christies in Dubai zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 41.703,25) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 19%. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ahmed Mater auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Magnetism (Triptych) im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 189.000,00 (€ 219.963,46).
