Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2011 a collector was able to acquire the work The Attributes of Divine Perfection by Ahmed Moustafa for USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,755.00). This price was achieved in the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish ArtPart II at Christies in Dubai and was even below the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 30,000.00 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 Oktober 2011 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Attributes of Divine Perfection von Ahmed Moustafa für USD 15.000,00 (€ 10.755,00) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish ArtPart II bei Christies in Dubai erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 30.000,00. 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).
