A top price for Ahmed Moustafa - as previously expected

The work The Night Journey And Ascension by Ahmed Moustafa was auctioned at Sothebys in Doha in December 2010. The price achieved of USD 842,500.00 (€ 634,938.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 700,000.00 – 900,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Night Journey And Ascension is the most expensive artwork by Ahmed Moustafa that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The Night Journey And Ascension von Ahmed Moustafa kam im Dezember 2010 bei Sothebys in Doha zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 842.500,00 (€ 634.938,58) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 700.000,00 – 900.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Night Journey And Ascension das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ahmed Moustafa, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
