Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Bull) by Ahmed Morsi was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 14,000.00 (€ 16,313.64). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ahmed Morsi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptianuntitled, which sold at auction in October 2016 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 41,776.14).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Bull) von Ahmed Morsi im Juni 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 14.000,00 (€ 16.313,64) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ahmed Morsi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Egyptianuntitled beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für GBP 37.500,00 (€ 41.776,14) versteigert wurde.
