Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work Magnetism Portfolio by Ahmed Mater was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. It achieved a price of USD 13,750.00 (€ 11,160.71), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. 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).
