Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work Flowers That Sing The Dreams Of The Earth by Ahmed Moustafa for USD 37,500.00 (€ 28,191.25). This price was achieved in the auction International Modern & Contemporary Art, Including Masterpieces from The Collection of Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi at Christies in Dubai and was even below the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ahmed Moustafa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Night Journey And Ascension in December 2010 with an auction result of USD 842,500.00 (€ 634,938.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Flowers That Sing The Dreams Of The Earth von Ahmed Moustafa für USD 37.500,00 (€ 28.191,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion International Modern & Contemporary Art, Including Masterpieces from The Collection of Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi bei Christies in Dubai erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ahmed Moustafa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Night Journey And Ascension im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 842.500,00 (€ 634.938,58).
