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.
