In February 2007 Christies in Dubai held the auction International Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Expending in God's Cause by Ahmed Moustafa. The auction ended at the price of USD 120,000.00 (€ 90,702.95), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 100,000.00 – 120,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ahmed Moustafa have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Night Journey And Ascension in December 2010 with an auction result of USD 842,500.00 (€ 634,938.58).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Februar 2007 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Expending in God's Cause von Ahmed Moustafa zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 120.000,00 (€ 90.702,95) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 100.000,00 – 120.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ahmed Moustafa auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Night Journey And Ascension im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 842.500,00 (€ 634.938,58).
