A top price for Ahmed Morsi

When the work Egyptianuntitled by Ahmed Morsi was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 37,500.00 (€ 41,776.14). This high result makes Egyptianuntitled the most expensive artwork by Ahmed Morsi that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Ahmed Morsi

Als die Arbeit Egyptianuntitled von Ahmed Morsi im Oktober 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 37.500,00 (€ 41.776,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Egyptianuntitled zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ahmed Morsi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
